convert xlsread to readcell

i have a code that uses xlsread, in a bit of an awkward way:

addpath('C:\Users\Administrator\Dropbox (********)\******** Team Folder\Matlab\RFID chip reader\RfidChipData');
% location of stored master tags
[~,~,TrueValMat] = xlsread('RfidChipTrueValues.xlsx', 'Experiment 1'); % reads our excel file into the proper format

I have heard xlsread is not the preferred method, and may cause issues down the line. how can I convert this to readcell?

You can use readtable which in my opinion it's the best way to read excel files.

excel_file = readtable('RfidChipTrueValues.xlsx');
Experiment_1 = excel_file.Experiment 1
