Issues with xlsopen

[Steve Shearer]

Hi,

 

I am using Windows 7, I have JRE installed and I have Excel 2010.

I have Octave V 4.2.0, and I have installed  io-2.4.5.tar.gz

I have loaded io

 

I am trying to read an xlsx file using xlsread – this has worked very well for me in the past, but now for some reason is unable to open the file. It seems to be failing at the xlsopen so I tried explicitly to xlsopen the file.

This is what I get….

 

>> dd=xlsopen('Steve1.xlsx')

Detected XLS interfaces: warning: xls2open: file Steve1.xlsx couldn't be unzipped

warning: __OCT_spsh_open__: some elements in list of return values are undefined

warning: called from

    __OCT_spsh_open__ at line 85 column 7

    xlsopen at line 314 column 30

None.

warning: xlsopen.m: no'.xlsx' spreadsheet I/O support with available interfaces.

dd = [](0x0)

I have looked around on the web for solutions to this issue, but most solutions refer to the java package which is now incorporated in v4.2.0 so they seem not to be relevant.

 

I would really appreciate some guidance on this problem please.

 

Thanks

Steve
