MATLAB: Delimit cells to columns with strings and numeric values

data importMATLABtext file

Below is the code I'm running. It pulls in a text file that is delimited with a semicolon.
clc; clear;
filename = 'U0400_ALL_LOCS.txt';
delimiterIn = ';';
headerlinesIn = 1;
A = importdata(filename,delimiterIn); %,headerlinesIn);
The file is read into Matlab, but only sepeates rows, not columns. The picture below is of the variable A.

Any idea on how to get these to split into their respective columns?

Try using readtable() to read the text file
