I run w7 x86 on a separate bootcamp partition on my '10 Macbook Pro with R2010a. When I try to read from a .xls, I get the error:

" Warning: Could not start Excel server for import, 'basic' mode will be used. Refer
to HELP XLSREAD for more information.
> In xlsread at 176
In Test at 7
Warning: Range cannot be used in 'basic' mode. The entire sheet will be loaded.
> In xlsread at 184
In Test at 7
Warning: XLS File contains unrecognized string header - skipping remaining text -
(1027:0x3a 65529). "

where eg., vind_30=xlsread('Sodar Mars 2010 orginal.xls','R9:R4472'); is located in Test.m

I have read that 'xlsread' has compatibility issues with Matlab on OS X (COM-problems?), but does anyone know why this problem occurs on my clean W7-installation on my stand alone bootcamp-partition? Any workarounds or hints?

Thanks,

To cross-check: do you have Excel installed in your bootcamp partition?
It is an optional (extra-cost) Microsoft product.

(If I recall correctly, Excel is part of Microsoft Office in the USA,
but not in Canada, so if you installed Microsoft Office in Sweden you
should double-check to see whether Excel was included.)
