It depends on how the data are store in the .dat file. There is no standard structure for this file extension, so it could be a binary or text file. So please post a small example of your file.

when I tried to load it this error appears

[Ahmed Ibrahim]

The file content is like that

and so on

[Jan]

fid = fopen(FileName, 'r');
if fid == -1, error('Cannot open file: %s', FileName), end
fgetl(fid);  % Skip first line
Data = fscanf(fid, '%g ', [3, inf]);
fclose(fid);
