Hello,

When the enumeration of the Excel cell with the name: CalculationFree

I want to use this cell as a variable in Matlab:

A=1;
Forest'CalculationFree'=A;

Forest'CalculationFree'=1

or

A=1;
CalculationFree'=A;

CalculationFree'=1

I do not know, How to convert string for variable in Matlab.

Thank you for answer

Why do you want to do this?

[Jaroslav Keprt]

Because I have a big file with measured data. There's a lot of column, and it has its own name. I want these columns as individual variables in Matlab (and time)

Thank you, look into it.

My pleasure. It really is a bad idea to import your data into lots of dynamically defined variables. Just import the data into one variable (a cell or structure) and this will make your code simpler, faster, and more robust.
