xlsread() ERROR: line 191 "warning(m​essage('MA​TLAB:xlsre​ad:ActiveX​'))"

Hello,

I´m currently trying to import a table from Excel by using the readxls() function, but receive this error message:

"Warning: Could not start Excel server for import, 'basic' mode will be used. Refer to HELP XLSREAD for more information. > In xlsread (line 191) "

While in the function script, I find this in line 191 ""warning(message('MATLAB:xlsread:ActiveX'))""

I don't really know what's ActiveX... Does it mean I have to install this software??

Thank you by adavance, and have a good day,

Eric

I'm on a PC and have Excel... Strange but thank you, finally I don´t know how, xlsread() worked... ^^

You would get that if you are using Mac or Linux, or if you are using Windows but do not have Excel installed.

Try using readtable instead.
