Use readtable with the following syntax to read the data into a table:
To just read the 4th column, use 'Range','D:D' for the Name and Value inputs.
If your data is just numbers, you may consider using readmatrix as well, which returns an array.
You can use the name-value input to read in a specific column.

data = readmatrix(fileName); % Read entire workbook into 2-D matrix.
column4 = data(:, 4); % Extract column 4 only into column vector.
