Usually when I read large amounts of data from excel files the format of data in every column are the same. For example, a targetted column only contains numerical data. However, sometimes the same column alternately contains data that are not in the numerical format. For example, inbetween normal numerical values the data happens to have been entered (let's say by some operator) as fractions:

1,50
2,50
0,40
1/3
1/5
1/3
1/4
0,10
0,30
4,50

This causes a stop in the assignment of the values to an array because assigned data have to be of the same type. Naturally for a small table I could manually change these fractions (1/3, 1/5 etc.) into their nuzmerical values but for an extremely large dataset this can be very cumbersome.

How can I write get Matlab to detect these "fractions" in the columns and recalculate them into their numerical equivalents?

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

For example, if A = {1, 2} is 2/4 as a character string when reading from Excel to MATLAB

If you do str2num (A {1,2}), it will be the numerical value of 0.5

A = '2/4'
%ans '2/4'
a = 2/4
%ans 0.5
str2num(A)
%ans 0.5

Can I do this by matrix for for statement?

If sr2num is set for intermediate values, an error will occur, so it is good to use [isnumeric] to determine the numerical value

A = {'2/4',[2/4];...
'2/6',[2/6];...
'3/9',[3/9]};
%A{1,2} → 0.5
%A{2,2} → 0.333
%A{3,2} → 0.333
%A{1,1} → '2/4'
%A{2,1} → '2/6'
%A{3,1} → '3/9'
[x,y] = size(A);%　Examine the number of matrices
%In this example x=2 y=3
for i = 1:y
    for k = 1:x
        if isnumeric(A{i,k}) == 0 
            A{i,k} = str2num(A{i,k})
        end
    end
end
%result
%A{1,2} → 0.5
%A{2,2} → 0.333
%A{3,2} → 0.333
%A{1,1} → 0.5
%A{2,1} → 0.333
%A{3,1} → 0.333
