Import excel file with comma for decimal and dates

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have an excel file of dates and water level data (attached).
The dates are in format: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.
The water level format uses a comma as the decimal point.
When I use the import tool in Matlab I am unable to import the data as 'dates' and a column of 'water levels'.
How do I import the file so that the first column is read in as a date and the second column as the data?
I would like to plot the water level data with the date along the x-axis.
I can manually change the comma to a 'fullstop' before I import the file but I am sure that there is a way to do this without me manually editing the file beforehand.

In excel and/or in Windows System settings (i do not know where) change the settings of the decimal notation to dot and to the required date-time format.
After successful import, get rid of excel and windows … ;-)

Start >> Control Panel >> Change keyboards or other input methodes >> "Formats" Tab >> Additional Settings >> "Numbers" Tab >> Change decimal symbol to dot.
You need to restart excel for the change to take effect

That means there is no way of doing it from Matlab?
I agree excel and windows are insufferable, but I didn't expect this from Matlab. What a dissapointment...
