MATLAB: How to load Excel .xlsx and .mat files into Matlab

I was able to import a .xlsx file and a .mat file containing data that I need to use for my code. However when I use "load FileName" I get an error that says "unable to read file. No such file or directory." Please let me know how to do this.

Best Answer

The function, load(), cannot read excel-files.
"when I use "load FileName" I get an error" FileName is that the name of a mat-file? Or is FileName the name of a variable, the value of which is the name of a mat-file?
If FileName is the the name of a mat-file
load FileName
should work
If FileName is the name of a variable, the value of which is the name of a mat-file
load( FileName )
should work
See load()
