The variable in X1 seems awfully constant, at 0.0166. The first input to trapz should be the x-coordinate of the points at which you have Y, not the values of "dx". Perhaps what you want is something like:
Ival = trapz(cumsum(X1),Y);

If you look at the help for trapz you will read:
Z = trapz(X,Y,DIM) or trapz(Y,DIM) integrates across dimension DIM
of Y. The length of X must be the same as size(Y,DIM)).
That means that your call to trapz would be something like:
z_all = trapz(cumsum(X1),Y,2);
