The easiest way is to use csvread() to read the entire matrix and then access the first column.

yeah, I used csvread() then how can I read first column?

[Walter Roberson]

data = csvread('YourFile.csv');
column1 = data(:,1);

[Asanka Dewappriya]

I used that code but I can't get actual output that output I mention in below.I need get all float value in 1st column.

Please attach your file. You might need to zip it and attach the zip

I wonder whether your csv file happens to try to use comma as the decimal indicator, as happens in some parts of Europe (especially Germany it seems.)

I do not get that result at all.

data = csvread('DOWN.csv');
data(1:10,1)

ans =
                    1.15
                   1.196
                   1.201
                   1.172
                   1.138
                    1.16
                   1.194
                   1.213
                   1.199
                   1.189
