Partial least square error

When I am trying to run the following code the following error occures. what is the reason?

x=load('CODTOCTDS.mat');

y=load('COD.mat');

[XL,YL,XS,YS,BETA,PCTVAR,MSE,stats] = plsregress(x,y)

Error using sum

Invalid data type. First argument must be numeric or logical.

Error in mean (line 127)

y = sum(x, dim, flag) ./ mysize(x,dim);

Error in plsregress (line 176)

meanX = mean(X,1);

Error in CODpred (line 4)

[XL,YL,XS,YS,BETA,PCTVAR,MSE,stats] = plsregress(x,y)

As per the error, it is failing at the sum step. so i know some if the simmilar error due to my previous experience.

In your data you might be having an cell array so You would need to convert the cell array into a double array using cell2mat or something similar. Please check if this helps!!

Or else please share your data which you are trying to load so that it will give a clear picture to help..

I also have a similar error when I do the following:

X=readtable('X.xlsx','VariableNamesRange','A2:A301',...

'VariableNamesRange','B1:HZ1','DataRange','B2:HZ301');

Y=readtable('Y.xlsx','VariableNamesRange','A2:A301',...

'VariableNamesRange','B1:B1','DataRange','B2:B301');

[XL,YL,XS,YS,beta,PCTVAR,MSE,stats] = plsregress(X,Y,10);

The error messages are:

Error using sum

Invalid data type. First argument must be numeric or logical.

Error in mean (line 127)

y = sum(x, dim, flag) ./ mysize(x,dim);

Error in plsregress (line 176)

meanX = mean(X,1);

Error in PLSregression (line 7)

[XL,YL,XS,YS,beta,PCTVAR,MSE,stats] = plsregress(X,Y,10);

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

In the Y cells, there are blanks in the data. Does this cause the problem? If yes, how to handle this?

Thanks,
