Error "Too many DATANAMES" for number series

Hi all,

I am loading a time series file from Excel to Matlab which contains 208 columns and 700 rows. But as soon as pressing the load button in FTStool,....The Error box is displayes as "Too Many DATANAMES for the number series"

Please help, why is this error occurring? Is it because Matlab cant hold large time series data?

It's definitely not too big. I bring in sets much larger than this all the time. I've never used the FTStool, but sometimes when I'm importing data from Excel I have the problem of cells not really being empty, so it's trying to bring in a much larger portion of the worksheet.

Solution. I select all the "empty" columns past my data (use ctrl+shift), delete. Do the same thing for rows.

Save file, try to re-import
