Error using xlsread (line 257) Excel Worksheet could not be activated

Hi,

I have got an error message: "Error using xlsread (line 257) Excel Worksheet could not be activated". I have used MATLAB R2019a in my personal computer (OS: Windows 10) and got this error. But the same code when I run in my office computer (OS: Windows 7) which has MATLAB R2017a, it runs perfectly.

Please can you help me to fix the problem.

Thanks.

The problem does not appear to be the Excel file, if you can read it correctly in R2017a. See if using the readmatrix function allows you to read it on your R2019a installation.
