How to reform cell into a vector of strings and text

Hi, I want to read in a excel with the first cell of each row of the form:
2020-09-02 00:00:00.7770000,"OLW218","Pickling","Water lock Off-time PV (Sec)",105,,,"Good"
(this is all in one cell)
and replace it with a vector of the form
[0.777,"OLW218","Pickling","Water lock Off-time PV (Sec)",105,"Good"]
or a form where I can for example have: vector(6) = "Good".
If I use xlsread or save the excel as txt file it is imported as a cell {"2020-09-02 00:00:00.7770000,"OLW218","Pickling","Water lock Off-time PV (Sec)",105,,,"Good""}. I tried the split command, but I can't get the result I want.

Why don't you use the Excel whizard and convert/split the text there, just out of curiosity?
How did the file get created in this manner in the first place?
The easiest problem to solve is the one that don't create in the first place...going back to the beginning might be the simplest fix.

Two of many ways to deal with the cellstr --
As string array
>> S=string(split(C,',')); S=S(S~="")
S =
6×1 string array
"2020-09-02 00:00:00.7770000"
""OLW218""
""Pickling""
""Water lock Off-time PV (Sec)""
"105"
""Good""
>>
or as cellstr
>> CC(~cellfun(@isempty,CC))
ans =
6×1 cell array
{'2020-09-02 00:00:00.7770000' }
{'"OLW218"' }
{'"Pickling"' }
{'"Water lock Off-time PV (Sec)"'}
{'105' }
{'"Good"' }
>>
Alternatively, use textscan and convert the fields directly. Will leave as "exercise for student"
