To my understanding, you want to import data from excel file and create an artificial neural network in Deep Network Designer. According to the information provided, you preferably need 1D convolution layer to build your ANN.
As of MATLAB R2021a, Deep Learning Toolbox does not support 1D-convolutional layer.
To use "imageInputLayer" with 1D data you will need to structure your data in one of these two ways: [1 x T x C x N] or [T x 1 x C x N].
where:
- T is the sequence dimension
- C is the channel or variable dimension
- N is the observation dimension

You can also refer to import-data-into-deep-network-designer MathWorks documentation page to learn more on how to import data into deep network designer.
