Extract data from excel using heading
显示 更早的评论
I have my data in an excel file. I want matlab to extract data and make a matrix from 9 places that have the same heading and the same length. The data is all located in the same column in the excel file. The locations vary between different excel files, so I want to use the heading to find data in the file not the location.

[data headings] = xlsread('your_excel.xls');
headings = headings(1,:);% first row of headings, in case you have some others.
head_wanted = 'your_desire_heading'; % heading of your desired column
col_desired = getnameidx(headings, head_wanted); % position of your wanted column
your_wanted_data = data(:,col_desired);

This could be valid for you then:
[data headings] = xlsread('your_ecel.xls');
heading_pos =[];
for k=1:numel(headings)
if strcmp(headings{k},'Data')
heading_pos = [heading_pos; k];
end
end
your_array = zeros(3,numel(heading_pos));
% valid for a long column with several Data headings/values
for k2=1:(numel(heading_pos)-1)
your_array(:,k2) = data(heading_pos(k2):(heading_pos(k2+1)-2));
end
your_array(:,end) = data(heading_pos(end):end);
you will end up with a 2D matrix holding your vector in each column

Use a table, that way you can index by variable name.
Attach an Excel sheet with specific instructions if you'd like a minimal working example.
