Hello Peter Johansen,

Here you go. Use this code. It deletes all the F rows and the corresponding rows in income excel sheet too. It saves the final excel sheets as genderlistfinal.xls and incomelistfinal.xls in current folder. Check it out.

[num,txt,raw] = xlsread('gender.xls');
[num1,txt1,raw1] = xlsread('income.xls');
num1=num1(:,2); %income
j=1;
for i=1:10
  if char(txt(i))=='M'
      num2(j)=num1(i);
      txt2(j)=txt(i);
      j=j+1;
  end
end
filename1 = 'genderlistfinal.xls';
xlswrite(filename1,txt2')
filename2 = 'incomelistfinal.xls';
xlswrite(filename2,num2')
