Hello everyone I have a graph plotted in Matlab (no function), as data was imported via Excel, I am looking for a loop to calculate the area under the curve of each interval and then add them to get the entire area

How about using trapz function, instead of trying rectangle method. Or, do you have to try rectangle method for some reason?

Sorry for my late response. Here is an simple example.
% Sample data
dx = pi/10;
x = 0:dx:2*pi;
y = 1+sin(x);
% integral of y = f(x) via trapezoidal method (S1) and rectangle method (S2)
S1 = trapz(x,y);
S2 = sum(y*dx);
