Open up import tool through GUI

I am creating a GUI which allows the user to import their excel, csv or txt data using the MATLAB integrated import tool. Using the import tool is important as this will allow the user to change the data types and select a specific amount of rows/columns. However, I dont seems to see how should i call out the import tool through GUI. Any suggestions?

Do you mean the uiimport(filename) function? Then you can insert this command in the callback of the wanted GUI element. See https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/importtool-app.html
