A is a matrix containing the data from the txt file. (It doesn't make sense to say A.data when A is a matrix.)

file='Maximos ordenados.txt';
A=importdata(file)

A = 1023×1

0.9221 1.2559 0.8798 1.2434 21.0027 1.3572 0.9759 1.6880 1.6885 0.4037

max=A.data(:,1)

Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type.

maximum = A; % make a copy of A, and call it max(imum) ?
