How to get Matlab read my char file in excel?

I have a list of char in my excel file.

I want to import to my matlab like below:

I had tried below

y=csvread('test10042019.csv');
x=dlmread('test10042019_char.csv');

But is not working

>> x=dlmread('test10042019_char.csv',' ', 1,0);
Error using dlmread (line 143)
Mismatch between file and format string.
Trouble reading 'Numeric' field from file (row number 1, field
number 1) ==> ,\n
 

THank you.

Why are you asking the same question multiple times? Once is sufficient.

Is this that you want?

[~,text,~] = xlsread(filename);
text = char(text);
