i have an error when i draw a polar The error is

clc
clear all
close all

path = 'H:\radition';
Date= importdata([path '\radd.csv']);

dB = Date(1:360,3);
% pol_1 = 10*log10(Data(1:121,3)./max(Data(1:121,3)));
Theta = Data(1:361,1)*pi/180;
dB = dB-min(dB);
polarplot (Theta,(dB/50))
hold on

Index in position 1 exceeds array bounds (must not exceed 1).

Error in Untitled4_22 (line 8)
dB = Date(1:362,3); 

this is the error

[Dyuman Joshi]

Date() has 360 rows, and you are trying to access 361st and 362nd row, which is not possible.

Also, the code in the problem uses 1:360 and the code in the above comment uses 1:362, which is weird.

[Adam Danz]

I believe line 8 is db = Date(1:360,3); in which case Date appears to have only 1 row according to the error message.

Use readmatrix to directly load the data into a numeric array.

importdata loads the data into a structure array for the given input (i.e. spreadsheet) and does not include the first column in the output (rather it classifies it as rowheaders)

And use the indices within the range of the size of "Date".

%Struct array
out1 = importdata('radd.csv') %size of data is 360x7, it should be 360x8 as below

out1 = struct with fields:
          data: [360×7 double]
      textdata: {360×1 cell}
    rowheaders: {360×1 cell}

%Numeric array
out2 = readmatrix('radd.csv')

out2 = 360×8
