How do I convert a CSV into a .mat file?

Hi all! I'm very, very new to Matlab.

With that said, does anyone know how to convert a CSV file into a .mat file in the MATLAB environment? I've had a lot of trouble answering this question.

I attached a CSV file I'd like to convert as an example.

Thank you!

Use READMATRIX and SAVE. If you don't know what options you have for file import/export, start here:

Since the csv only contains numeric data, use readmatrix to load the data in a variable

variablename=readmatrix('s1.csv')

variablename = 601×30

and save accordingly

save('filename.mat','variablename')

[Arif Hoq]

use Readtable function or readmatrix if your data includes numeric

loadyourfile=readtable("s1.csv");
save('yourmatfile.mat','loadyourfile')
