Re: Import/Load data

Hummmm, not sure what you're doing, exactly. I just imported your data; I got created this code:
%% Import data from spreadsheet
% Script for importing data from the following spreadsheet:
%
% Workbook: C:\Users\Excel\Desktop\NAN.xls Worksheet: Sheet1
%
% To extend the code to different selected data or a different spreadsheet,
% generate a function instead of a script.

% Auto-generated by MATLAB on 2012/11/14 23:55:17

%% Import the data
[~, ~, raw] = xlsread('C:\Users\Excel\Desktop\NAN.xls','Sheet1');
raw = raw(2:end,:);

%% Replace non-numeric cells with 0.0
R = cellfun(@(x) ~isnumeric(x) || isnan(x),raw); % Find non-numeric cells
raw(R) = {0.0}; % Replace non-numeric cells

%% Create output variable
untitled = cell2mat(raw);

%% Clear temporary variables
clearvars raw R;

Don't worry about the NAN thing; it simply means not-a-number:
