Good Day Alexander,
Thanks for your reply. Even after manually loading the package, I get this
error:
M1 = xlsread('Matrix1.xls')
Detected XLS interfaces: None.
warning: xlsopen.m: no support for spreadsheet I/O
warning: xlsread: some elements in list of return values are undefined
M1 = [](0x0)
I will send you the xls file off-list.
