MATLAB: Upload data to uitable

guiuitableupload

%Upload Data in uitable3
handles.output=hObject;
  [file,path]=uigetfile({'*.xls;*.xlsx','Excel Files'},'Select data file');
  filename=strcat(path,file);
  set(handles.upload);
  data=xlsread(filename);
  set(handles.uitable3,'Data',data
Column 1 consist of strings (words) and column 2 consist of integers.
But the strings don't upload; only the integers upload to the table.
How can I get the data strings to upload in column 1?
Thank you in advance!

Best Answer

xlsread replies the numeric values as first output. Therefore the variable data does not contain the strings in the first column and in consequence the uitable will not display strings. The 3rd output of xlsread might be better.
Please read doc xlsread.
Note: The line set(handles.upload); is meaningless.
