MATLAB: Xlsread error after updating to 2016b

errorMATLABmatlab.io.spreadsheet.internal.columnletterxlsread

Hi! After updating to Version 2016b the xlsread function gives out following error:
Error using xlsread (line 249)
Error: File: xlsreadCOM.m Line: 113 Column: 12
Arguments to IMPORT must either end with ".*" or else specify a fully qualified class name:
"matlab.io.spreadsheet.internal.columnLetter" fails this test.
With the Version 2015b the function worked fine! Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot. Cheers, Chris

Try to restore Matlab path to its default with the commands:
>> restoredefaultpath
>> rehash toolboxcache
>> savepath
I had exactly the same problem as yours and restoring the path solved it.
