Hi Rune,

xlsread is suppose to work on limited functionality, but it is suppose to work.

Hey Ainat, I am facing the same problem as you. However, it happens with specific sheets only. I am not sure yet, but should be something with the cell format that you have in your excel sheet. I am trying to play around with the different possible formats but with no success yet.

Also, if you convert you .xls to Excel 5.0/95 workbook (.xls) it works perfectly. However, you have the limitation in 255 character per row and about 16.000 rows.

If you find something new, please let me know.

Thanks.

Raphael
