How to import several files of excel into a table in Matlab?

Dear community

When I use the function "import data", only allows to import one excel file.

The issue is, I have several excel files in one folder and I need to import all that excel files.

Anyone knows a loop that allow to import all that excel files?

Thanks in advance

I already used that way, but only read numbers that’s the reason why I need to convert into a table using the tool “import data” from home. It doesn’t work

[Walter Roberson]

datadir = 'project7\straindata';
dinfo = dir( fullfile(datadir, '*.xlsx') );
filenames = fullfile( datadir, {dinfo.name} );
numfiles = length(filenames);

for K = 1 : numfiles
    thisfile = filenames{K};
    thistable = readtable(thisfile);
    if K == 1
        datatable = thistable;
    else
        datatable = [datatable; thistable];
    end
end

At the end of the loop, provided all of the xlsx files had the same number of variables with the same datatypes and the same headers in the same order, then datatable will be a single table containing all of the information from the files.
