import data into uitable

I would like to ask you how shout I import data into uitable,mixed data - numbers and string? I have created uitable in guide. Here is part of my code:

global strFilename [num,txt,raw] = xlsread(strFilename) set(handles.edit3, 'data', num); -After that only numbers appear in uitable. set(handles.edit3, 'data', txt); -After that only words appear in uitable.

How can I resolve it?

set(handles.edit3,'data',raw); should resolve the issue. uitable accepts either numeric arrays or cell arrays if you want mixed data types. The reason you're seeing only words appear when you use txt as your data variable is because the second output of xlsread ignores numbers.

Can I ask you yet, after importing data into uitable I need to analyze data. How can i get access to these data?

You can use calls to guidata() to save and retrieve the handles. Then, if you're running 2014b+ you can just use dot notation handles.edit3.data, or you'll need get(handles.edit3,'data').
