refer to excel data using excel column numbers ?

I read in a large excel data file using readmatrix :
data = readmatrix('press.xlsx');
I would like to refer to the data by the original column names in excel - for example, for the third column, something like :
x = data(:,'C')
This runs but produces wrong results - Any way to make this work ? Thanks

Use readtable instead of readmatrix.

@Ambady Suresh: Did this answer work for you?
@Voss - Yes and No. The read table works as you suggest with column names. However, the return type is different. So I kept getting errors like Operator '-' is not supported for operands of type 'table', etc.

When data is a table, you would say:

x = data{:,'C'}

or:

x = data.C
