I would like to know what does it mean "Data is not valid NDGRID format" when I try to use interpn() function to interpolate a function from four variables. I've already checked, a dozen times, my matrixes dimensions. Which one of them agrees in size (4D - 2x11x4x3). Besides, there is no way I can use ndgrid() function to create the mesh, in this case I did this mannualy.
If I have all the function values for which one of the variables, why this error appears?
Thanks in advance,

From the doc for interpn one finds...
"interpn requires that X1,X2,X3,etc. be monotonic and plaid (as if
they were created using NDGRID). X1,X2,X3,etc. can be non-uniformly
spaced."
So, it doesn't matter about the dimension so much, only that the Xn vectors/arrays be monotonic and non-repeating such that they are valid for ndgrid. That you say "there is no way I can use ndgrid() function to create the mesh" pretty much means you can't use interpn to interpolate the data, either (actually, it means it flat out, not just "pretty much" :) ).
You can try some of the other interpolation methods.
Why, specifically, can't you use ndgrid? What is a (smallish) typical subset of the data grid for looksies?

The problem is solved, but this is awkward... I did exactly what the function ngrid() does, but mannualy.
I checked and I noticed that my previous matrixes were exactly the same as the matrixes generated by the ndgrid function, but the fact that I didn't use the ngrid function to generate them caused the problem.
Anyway, I found a way to use the ndgrid function and it did work.

I don't believe that for a minute! :) I'm sure it looks like that, but I'm certain there's something different in the two cases. Matlab doesn't "know" from whence a set of arrays came; all it knows is whether the input meets the input checks run to validate inputs or not and your inputs didn't.
Unfortunately, W/O actual code/data, no way to tell exactly what the mismatch was...

I have a similar issue that I cannot use ndgrid. I have 3D data where I only want to interpolate along the pages ( 3rd dimension). Slicing the matrix can take considerable time so I thought interpn could essentially parallelize it. But the time points where I have the data are not the same for each page and thus I cannot use ndgrid. Any help would be most appreciated.

I suggest instead of a comment to a closed question that you post this as new question and supply a (small!) dataset that illustrates the problem.
