How can I conver the data in format cell attached here to double? I tried function double. It works well for some of my data but not this file. I cannot not understand what is the difference.

You have to reference ‘G3’ specifically, then convert it.
This works:
d = load('Xinyuan Wei X.mat');
X = d.X;
G3 = X.G3; % Define ‘G3’
G3_dbl = str2num(cell2mat(G3)); % Convert ‘G3’ To Double
This is quite definitely not obvious! I had to experiment with it to get it to a double array.

I would advise against str2num as this evaluate arbitrary expressions in the string (including ones that wipe the hard drive!).
G3_dbl = str2double(G3);
is simpler anyway (does not need cell2mat)

Excellent point!
Thank you for the clarification. I didn’t consider that.

It is because..if you see your first dataset in X it is 'G3'. As it is a string, MATLAB is showing error to convert to double. You delete the first dataset 'G3' then double shall work.

As the 'X' is in dataset format, so you need to create new variable by fetching data for 'X'.
first load your .mat file, then run the following code..
for i = 1: length(X)
x(i) = str2num(X{i,1});
end
x = x';
