I am using UIGETFILE to choose Excel files, with .xls AND .xlsx extension. Also, I want UIGETFILE to start in another directory. I already looked at the documentation and in this post. I know I would have to use something like this:

uigetfile([pwd '\folder1\*.xls'], 'Select file');

However, that would only allow me to select .xls files. I want it to allow me to select .xls files AND .xlsx files.

How can I do this?

Thanks, it worked. This option should be explicitly stated in the documentation.

I agree! It took me a while to figure it out.

There's a slightly more flexible way to accomplish this:

uigetfile({'*.txt;*.doc' 'Text file or Word document';'*.txt' 'Text file'; '*.doc' 'Word document'},'Select a file','C:\');

This makes use of uigetfile's optional DefaultName argument to specify the starting path. Since FilterSpec isn't being used to provide the path, it can be a cell array of strings, which enables the use of custom file type descriptions (something that's not possible if FilterSpec is a single string as in the example above).
