Re: Import Excel data to GNU octave

[CdeMills]

Hello,
basically there are two ways to import Excell data:
1) xlsread from the io package. It requires a working Java environment, as
well as the apache-poi: https://poi.apache.org/
   This is activated by putting apache-poi.jar in the Java path 
2) the dataframe package, which is a pure Octave implementation. Its purpose
is to read csv files and return an object whose 
    behaviour is similar to R dataframe, i.e. it tries to infer column and
row names from the first line / first column, each      column  may have its
own type, etc.

I'm the author of dataframe -- I would be glad to assist you in setting and
using it

Regards
Pascal
