I want to use readtable to read data from an excel file. As I understand, in readtable, the first line is automatically the variable names.

Yes, you can do that. For example,
variable_row = 3;
datatable = readtable(filename, 'VariableNamesRange', variable_row);
In some cases you want to specify a location to read the data from. You can use 'Range' in some cases, but if you have complicated headers then it might be better to use the 'DataRange' option.
Note: 'VariableNamesRange' and 'DataRange' may be specific to spreadsheets; the option names might be different for text files.

You can try:
readtable(filename,"NumHeaderLines",2)
or
opts = detectImportOptions(filename)
opts.VariableNamesRange = "A3"
T = readtable(filename,opts)
