The xlsread funciton has three possible outputs. The first is numeric data, the second is character data, and the third is a cell array of everything in the file. Return all the outputs, then experiment with how best to extract the non-numeric data you want.

Straight out of the documentation
num = xlsread(filename) reads the first worksheet in the Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet workbook named filename and returns the numeric data in a matrix.

I dont know why the first column is 'NaN'
I explained why in my answer. This line below is only reading in numeric data.
dataExcel = xlsread(fullfile(path,filename),'sheet1','A2:F50')

As I mentioned in my answer, try using readtable. There's a link to that function in the answer.
Star Strider also mentioned the additional outputs to xlsread that could solve the problem.
If you get stuck, share the updated section of code that reads in the data.

dataExcel = readtable(fullfile(path,filename), 'sheetname', 'sheet1', 'range', 'A2:F50', 'readvariablenames', false);
