MATLAB: Remove first value that appears after sequence of NaNs

MATLABremoving data points

Hi,
In my dataset, the first value that appears after a sequence of NaNs needs be removed. This removed value also need to be made NaN so that I dont consider in further anlaysis. I have attached the example dataset for your reference, I have colored some of those value to be removed in red.
I highly appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Try this:
D = readmatrix('example_data.xlsx');
R01 = strfind(isnan(D(:,1)).', [1 0]); % Find Indices Of [0 1] Transitions
Out = D; % Duplicate Original Matrix In 'Out'
Out(R01+1,:) = NaN; % Replace Appropriate Values With 'NaN'
This appears to do what you want on the rows that I checked. It assumes that the NaN values are the same rows in both columns, since they appear to be in the posted file. The ‘Out’ matrix is the output of the code.
