xls2struct

Load Excel file contents as a structure

xls2struct Load Excel file contents as a structure
xlsstruct = xls2struct(file) loads the Excel file 'file'. The first row is
used to generate the field names for the 1x1 structure xlsstruct. Each
column (excluding the first row) is then converted to a numeric/cell
array and assigned to the corresponding field name. All columns are
expected to have equal number of entries.

xlsstructArray = xls2struct(file,'structArray') will return a 1xNumCol
structure array xlsstructArray. The kth element of the structure will
have field names corresponding to the first row and values corresponding
to the kth row.

GENVARNAME is used to generate a valid MATLAB structure field name from
the first row data.

Blank entries are returned as 'NaN'.

Platform support is dependent on XLSREAD.

%Example: Given this Excel file content (9 columns, 5 rows):

%one two three four ' ' six se ven
%1 2 3 6 7
%11 22 three
% seven
% 222 33

xlsStruct=xls2struct('example.xls')
% Where:
% xlsStruct.one' = 1 11 NaN NaN
% xlsStruct.two' = 2 22 NaN 222
% xlsStruct.three' = [3] 'three' [NaN] [33]
% xlsStruct.four' = NaN NaN NaN NaN
% xlsStruct.x' = NaN NaN NaN NaN
% xlsStruct.six' = 6 NaN NaN NaN
% xlsStruct.seVen' = [7] [NaN] 'seven' [NaN]

xlsStructArray=xls2struct('example.xls','structArray')
% Where:
% xlsStructArray =
%
% 1x4 struct array with fields:
% one
% two
% three
% four
% x
% six
