Why am I getting select cells with NaN when I import my data?

3 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to import a 73x2 table from a .txt file into Matlab. Everything in the first column shows up correctly in the preview before I import, however, there are issues with the second column. 16 out of the 73 elements are replaced by NaN, scattered (seemingly randomly) throughout. The .txt file I have the data in simply has the two numbers, separated with a space, followed by a semicolon after the second number. I tried to look for a relation between the cells that didn't get properly imported (IE, the length of the number), but there wasn't one.
