I am importing an Excel file in Matlab using the readtable command. For some reason, one collumn in the dataset does not load as doubles (all number columns are identically formatted in the Excel file as much as I can tell) but as string characters:
prompting the deficient column:
>>T{3,1}{:,14}
ans =1699×1 cell array
I need to replace the strings in T{3,1}{:,14} with doubles.
The following command returns an error:
>> T{3,1}{:,14}=str2double(T{3,1}{:,14})
Conversion to cell from double is not possible.
If is use:
T{3,1}{:,14}=num2cell(str2double(T{3,1}{:,14}))
the content of the column is no longer a double.
Do you have a solution to this (seemingly trivial) problem?
Thanks

D1D=readtable('test.xlsx');
D1D.cc=str2double(D1D.cc);

if you need to remove NaN's, use:
Index=isnan(D1D.cc);
D1D.cc(Index)=0;
% similarly for other columns ...

use a command: double()
To get back your strings use the command: char()

filename = 'test.xlsx';
opt = detectImportOptions(filename);
opt = setvaropts(opt, 3, 'Type', 'double');
T = readtable(filename, opt);

I tested on your sample file before posting. This code fixes the readtable so that it loads as numeric in the first place avoiding the cell
