I have matlab version R2009b and I am trying to read time and date values into matlab from excel with xlsread.
an example of a date and a time value that I have to read in is as follows:

date- 11-06-09
time- 20:47:21.300

I seem to remember I was able to read in these values before and alter them in matlab with datestr. However, now when I read the date or time values in, matlab returns an empty matrix:
A = []

How can I read these date and time values into matlab without having to alter them first in excel?
