Hello,
I am trying to import data from excel into matlab using xlsread and xlsfinfo. It was working while I had the excel file in the MATLAB folder, but now that I've moved it to a different folder it doesn't work unless I go into the folder using Matlab's Current Folder Window, select the folder and then select Add to Path -> Selected Folders and Subfolders.
The excel file I would like to import data from is called 'Cell tracks summary - micrometres.xlsx'.
If I drag this file into terminal I get the path: /Volumes/Hard\ Drive\ 2/PhD\ Results/Excel\ Spreadsheets/Cell\ tracks\ -\ Transplantations/Bipolar\ phase/Cell\ tracks\ summary\ -\ micrometres.xlsx
I have tried adding the above into the search path using addpath: addpath('/Volumes/Hard\ Drive\ 2/PhD\ Results/Excel\ Spreadsheets/Cell\ tracks\ -\ Transplantations/Bipolar\ phase');
But I get the following message: Warning: Name is nonexistent or not a directory: /Volumes/Hard\ Drive\ 2/PhD\ Results/Excel\ Spreadsheets/Cell\ tracks\ -\ Transplantations/Bipolar\ phase. > In path at 110 In addpath at 87
Similarly, if I enter: [type,sheetname] = xlsfinfo('/Volumes/Hard\ Drive\ 2/PhD\ Results/Excel\ Spreadsheets/Cell\ tracks\ -\ Transplantations/Bipolar\ phase/Cell\ tracks\ summary\ -\ micrometres.xlsx')
I get the error message: Error using validpath>getFullName (line 74) File '/Volumes/Hard\ Drive\ 2/PhD\ Results/Excel\ Spreadsheets/Cell\ tracks\ -\ Transplantations/Bipolar\ phase/Cell\ tracks\ summary\ -\ micrometres.xlsx' not found.
Error in validpath (line 29) filenameOut = getFullName(filename);
Error in xlsfinfo (line 45) filename = validpath(filename);
Would anyone know of an easy way to add the folder to the search path, so that I don't have to go into the folder manually every time I want to import data from that folder?
Thank you.
Best Renee
