Importing and Exporting Data

Importing Data into the Workspace

The first step in analyzing data is to import it into the MATLAB workspace. See the topics under Importing Data for detailed information about supported data formats and the functions.

When you work with time series data, use the Time Series Tools GUI (tstool) to import the data and create timeseries objects. The Time Series Tools Import Wizard makes it easy to import or define a time vector for your data. For more information, see Time Series Tools.

Exporting Data from the Workspace

When you analyze your data, you might create new variables or modified imported variables. You can export variables from the MATLAB workspace to various file formats, both character-based and binary. You can, for example, create HDF and Microsoft® Excel® files containing your data. For details, see the respective topics listed in Exporting Data and Supported File Formats.
