Best Answer

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
As stated in the documentation, not all ways of calling XLSREAD are supported on the Mac OS X platform due to Microsoft COM not being available on Mac OS X. To learn more, type DOC XLSREAD at your MATLAB command prompt and see the remarks under "COM Server Requirements".
