MATLAB: How to open csv fille, sort and plot the data from it using GUI

MATLAB

I want to open a result CSV file, sort the rows according to one specific column and also plot a graph of two columns using GUI. I need to open the CSV file from different locations, so I also need to create a browse button also. How can I do it?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Given that you want to browse open '.csv' file from different locations using GUI, I would recommend using App Designer in MATLAB. As Stephen suggested you can use "uigetfile" function for this. Considering your requirements, you can follow these steps:

Create an App Designer Project and you can browse open any '.csv' file using

 [filename, pathname, filterindex] = uigetfile('*.csv');
 csvfile = csvread(fullfile(pathname, filename));

You can sort this '.csv' file using "sortrows" function, based on any column. Refer Documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/sortrows.html
Then plot the required columns using the "plot" function. Refer Documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/plot.html

Refer to the attached example code for more details regarding implementation.

MATLAB: Dir(cd)

dir is a function that takes a look in a determined folder (and subfolder if you command).

cd without arguments is your actual location

dir(cd) would bring you all the files in your actual location.

files = dir(cd);

Will return a struct with name of the file, folder,a boolean value about if it is a folder or not, and its modification date.

Hope it helps!
