No need of specifying format(%s) there, MATLAB takes automatically respective data type

data = readtable('Ge single crystal transmission.txt');    % there is empty column(3rd)
data.Var3 = [];     % remove 3rd variable because its empty

If you want data as numberic array

data = readmatrix('Ge single crystal transmission.txt');    % numeric array and empty column(3rd)
data(:,3) = [];  %remove 3rd column because its nan values(empties)
