MATLAB: How to read an excel file from matlab if I’m working on MAC

importing excel datawind data analysis from excel

I would like to know if is there any way to work with an excel file with Mac. When I was working on windows I never had any problems, but when working on mac the commands for read and write an excel file are no longer working. Matlab displays the following message: Warning: Could not start Excel server for export. XLSWRITE will attempt to write file in CSV format. What can I do? It is for a wind data analysis which is required for Wind Turbine design.
