Hi. I am trying to read the first column of a sheet that contains a list of filepaths and look inside the folders for *.xlsx and open them. Unfortunately I get an error message. Do you have an idea how to solve this? Thank you very much in advance.
[~, entry] = xlsread(workbookFile,sheetName); for i=1 sourceDir = xlsread(entry{i,1}); %error message here
sourceFiles = dir(fullfile(sourceDir, '*.xlsx')); data(:,1) = xlsread(sourceFiles, 1, [entry{i,3} ':' entry{i,3}]); ...
Alternative Code:
data(:,1) = xlsread(dir(fullfile(entry{i,1}, '*.xlsx')), 1, [entry{i,3} ':' entry{i,3}]);
Error: File name must be a string
data(:,1) = xlsread(dir(fullfile(entry(i,1), '*.xlsx')), 1, [entry{i,3} ':' entry{i,3}]);
Error: Error using dir. Function is not defined for 'cell' inputs.
