How to import xlsx. files into matlab

i'm using matlab 2014b, and i'm trying to import data from xlsx. files. the problem is none of data the xlsx. files i tried wasn't recognized by matlab (it shows like the spreadsheet is blank), so i couldn't choose tables or columns to import using "import data".

can you figure out what the problem is? do i need to configure something in excel for matlab to recognize the data?

thanks.

Use the xlsread function. You have to have Excel installed on your computer.

Why is not this code working in matlab? Any help would be highly appreciated [TIMESTEPS,XDATA] = importfile('90.xlsx','Sheet1',2,1601);

importfile is not a matlab function
