According to Matlab online documentation:
https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/xlsread.html?searchHighlight=xlsread&s_tid=doc_srchtitle
xlsread() is deprecated now in Matlab and readtable(), readmatrix(),
or readcell() should be used.
I'm not familiar with these functions, but from the perspective of
naming, this move of Matlab seems a good one to me. For many people,
'spreadsheet' (if they use this term at all) is the same as 'Excel',
which is a misconception we shouldn't contribute to. But we would, if
we used 'xls...()' for every type of spreadsheet.
