Hi
I am using the xlsread command to read numbers spreadsheets in Matlab but I get the error that cannot find the file. The file is in the folder but cannot find it. Why? I don't get any error with the xlsread command. Can Matlab see number spreadsheets? It has been saved as the one the Numbers app of Mac exports

In any case, I don't think there's any function in matlab that can read numbers files, which are neither text files nor excel files. If the file has been exported as an excel file then yes it could be read with xlsread or better readtable or readmatrix but the file is no longer a numbers file.
Of course, csvread, dlmread and co. have never been able to read excel files. Only text files.

If the file is xls or xlsx then unless Windows with Excel is being used, it may be necessary to use readtable.

'xlsread' is not recommended in the latest versions .Instead try using 'readtable'

MATLAB does not appear to be able to read these files directly. The recommended workaround is to export the file as a *.xlsx or *.csv file, then import using readtable. Other methods for importing can be found here.
