This was written after i couldn't find a suitable method of importing my Databases from Excel into Matlab.

Call this function with DBDump('filename') and it will import any N x M size Excel table (Remove Headers of the Tables) with any number of Numerical and Date fields,

Restrictions that it can only read dates that are in dd/mm/yyyy format, and all other text will either be ignored or thrown up as an error (So remove any text columns or convert them to numerical entries first)

Update to Ver 2.1 -

Can handle files with any text / headers, will still only read dates in dd/mm/yyyy format, but will record non-date test as NaN.
