Have you given it a try?

Unless you use some newer features afaik should be able to.

yes i tried.

This is the error:

Error in ==> prodi_teste_vs9>listbox8_Callback at 837 matrix_pasta3=xlsread('C:\Users\PC\Desktop\program matlab\Pasta3.xlsx');

My code is:

matrix_pasta3=xlsread('C:\Users\PC\Desktop\program matlab\Pasta3.xlsx');

I tried using "xls" but its the same

matrix_pasta3=xlsread('C:\Users\PC\Desktop\program matlab\Pasta3.xls');

I will test with Matlab 2013

Well, guess it's not too surprising; MS isn't noted for worrying about backward compatibility much, either. :(

Try saving the file w/ earlier version ('xls' instead of 'xlsx') instead if you need to stay with earlier ML release.

Not sure if any of the addons one can download from MS to read later versions inside Excel are sufficiently enabling for the Matlab stuff to then automagically work thru them or not--probably not, but can't hurt to try.
