Hi,
I am attempting to use the Matlab importdata() function in a script which I run over a remote session on a VM. My script imports data (a list of numbers) from an excel spreadsheet into a variable. The script works perfectly when I am logged into the VM via Windows 10 RDC, but fails when I am logged in via Powershell (PS-Session) or Windows 10 SSH.
Other Matlab scripts that I have run remotely in this manner have executed fine. I have only noticed this behavior with the importdata() function.
Here are the contents of my test script (testImportData.m):
disp('Lets try importing the data!');myData = importdata('test.xlsx');disp('The data is: ');disp(myData)
This is the command I used to execute the script in my remote Powershell session:
matlab -r testImportData -logfile myLog.txt
This is the output of the log file containing the returned error message:

Lets try importing the data!

The data is:
data: []
textdata: {}

I have attached the relevant files.
