Hello,
I am reading a dataset with
opts = detectImportOptions('ML-04.csv');
opts.MissingRule = 'fill';
opts.ExtraColumnsRule = 'ignore';
data = readtable(strcat('ML-04.csv'), opts);
what I obtain is
>> data(1:30,:)
ans =
30×23 table
Var1 Var2 Var3 Var4 Var5 Var6 Var7 Var8 Var9 Var10 Var11 Var12 Var13 Var14 Var15 Var16 Var17 Var18 Var19 Var20 Var21 Var22 Var23

As you can see, readtable skips the first lines, and the table starts from the "01/06/19 02:20" line. It is curious that this line is exactly the first in which the 12th column has a different value from "N/A". I suppose that in some way it skips the rows where in that column there is "N/A" value. But why?
Besides, I don't need that column and I could not import it at all, but I don't know how to skip some specific columns with readtable.
Can you help me?

detectImportOptions detecting Space as the delimiter, (correctly I think) and is looking at the "N/A" and "NE 45" and treating those as differently formatted lines and skipping the earlier ones, as there are fewer variables.
You can avoid this header line detection by passing 'NumHeaderLines',0 into detectImportOptions. However, there's a difference between the number of fields on those lines when using Space as delimiter.
From what I can see, is that "NE 45" is probably meant to be one field, and "N/A" is meant to mean that there's no data for that field on that row. This is unusual since the data is being parsed as two fields when it's there, and one when it's not. That's going to cause problems for any delimited reading method. It's a perfectly human readable file that's going to be a pain to parse automatically.
Typically, this kind of file is actually fixed-width, but that's not the case for your file.
I don't like to recommend modifying data files, but if you insert a " 0 " after each "N/A" in that column, it would work better. If you have any control over how the file is generated, put double-quotes around the "NE 45" type data and things will also smooth out.
The only other option is to read using something like textscan, which can read a single line and then allow you to make decisions based on that line.

I'd suggest trying to import your file interactively first to see if you can understand what is happening. You can do this using the Import Data tool. Once you have it working as you want, you can then generate the corresponding code.
I discovered another issue in your file. At row 53 (1/6/2019 and 2:20), you gain a column, at least as far as the import options are concerned. If you inspect the output you are getting, you'll see Var12 and Var13 are perhaps considered a single entry (NE 45, ENE 67). However, it is getting split into 2 columns, causing the bump in columns. I'm not sure what is correct here since I'm unfamiliar with the data.
You'll have to find a way to correct for this.
If possible, I'd suggest trying to create the file using a delimiter other that space or tab. If you had commas, for example, then each column, including empty columns, would be clearly defined and the input would properly handle rows with the cardinal direction w/ accompanying degrees is specified.
In the meantime, a simple fix is to open the file in a text editor and replace each instance of " N/A " with " N/A N/A " (attached).

Ha! We must have both been typing at the same time.
