hello
I had to tweak a bit my code because your data file does not have same amount of rows depending at which column we look at
now, I don't know which of the data is interesting for you, but basically I found only 2 could be of some interest

% select one channel and remove NaN if needed

Firstly, thank you for helping.
Actually I need to do FFT analysis for the input signal which is in second(Column B) column. The first column indicates time span of the complete signal. In the code, I have commented for the remaining column. The same code is used for the different problem which had number of input signal. But if I use the same code for this probem I am getting the above mentioned errors.
