If your file is formatted the same as in Heart Rate by category, you cannot. You have to read the entire file, parse the column, Convert to the appropriate formats, then do the selections:
[~,sc] = xlsread('TEST.csv');
t_rc = regexp(sc(2:end), ';','split'); % Parse Column
dn = cellfun(@(x) datenum(x(:,1), 'HH:MM:SS'), t_rc); % Convert To Date Numbers
hr = cellfun(@(x) str2double(x(:,2)), t_rc); % Convert To Doubles

Ok!! Do you know the code to do the selection, after appropriate formats??
Yes!
The Code
[~,sc] = xlsread('Sérgio Querido TEST.csv');
t_rc = regexp(sc(2:end), ';','split'); % Parse Column
dn = cellfun(@(x) datenum(x(:,1), 'HH:MM:SS'), t_rc);
hr = cellfun(@(x) str2double(x(:,2)), t_rc);
dn_range = datenum(['00:01:24'; '00:05:03'], 'HH:MM:SS');
idx = find((dn >= dn_range(1)) & (dn <= dn_range(2)));
The ‘idx’ variable has the row indices for the times that meet the criteria.
