Hi all,
I have a very weird problem with the xlsread function. I have made an application that is compiled in an executable. This executable reads in data from multiple excel files when it is run. Also, the executable run is started from an excel add-in. The executable is run already for quite some time without too much problems and is regularly recompiled. But since a few days, it appears that from time to time xlsread keeps "hanging" when reading in data. It looks as if the code execution is just halted. Furthermore, we found out that:
- The problem is not reproducable: with every run, the problem is happening in another part of the code (but every time when reading in excel data).
- There is no error message.
- Some pc's experience the problem, others not.
- It can't be a network issue, because reading is done directly from the hard drive of the pc (C drive).
I have no clue about what could be the problem, especially I never had any problem reading in data in the past with the same code. Has anyone an idea what the problem could be (f.e. is there an excel update done by microsoft in the past weeks that could affect the excel read in in matlab?)?
Thanks for sharing your ideas!
