Error: "index in position 2 exceeds array bounds"

I am trying to set up a basic loop for importing/processing csv files. When I run my code I get the error "index in position 2 exceeds array bounds". Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

clear all

%Insert Loop
for i=1:2
 %Set file to load
   if i==1
        filename = 'DOaerationJuly.csv';
    end
   if i==2
        filename = 'DOoutfallJuly.csv';
    end
%Load data
delimiterIn = ',';
headerlinesIn = 1;
DOdata = importdata(filename,delimiterIn,headerlinesIn);
%Name Variables: Distance, Time, [DO]
Time = DOdata.data(:,1);
DO = DOdata.data(:,2); 
Temp = DOdata.data(:,3)
plot(Time,Temp)
end

Please attach mentioned files.

Thank you for responding, please see attached. These were origially acquired as html files and converted to csv files.

Temp = DOdata.data(:,3)

DOdata.data have only 2 columns, you are trying to access 3rd column.

Thank you, can you tell me how to add a column to this? I figured it would add one by default since my imported data has three columns.

Use readtable() instead of importdata()

The difficulty you are encountering is that the first column is not considered numeric, and so is not being returned as .data by importdata(), so the .data that importdata() returns has column 1 corresponding to DO and column 2 corresponding to Temp . If you use readtable() for a version within the last few years, then it will automatically detect and convert the time to datetime() and will return a total of three columns.
