I have data in the same excel workbook but in 10 different work sheets and i'm trying to run a loop that will read in the data from each work sheet consectutively.

this is how i've tried to do it so far and i'm not sure how to get it to work

for ii=01:10

data(ii)=xlsread('workbook.xlsx','worksheet(ii)','B10:F370'); 

end

You could use xlsread along with xlsinfo.

 [status,sheets] = xlsfinfo(filename);

Now, you have all the sheet names under sheets and you loop through that.

 data = cell(numel(sheet),1); %pre-allocate your variable
 for sheetNo = 1:numel(sheet)
    data(sheetNo,1) = xlsread(filename,sheets{sheetNo},Range);
    ...
 end

Goodluck!

ok, I understand what that code is doing but i'm stuggling to translate it into my data. What about this have i done wrong?

[status,sheets] = xlsfinfo('cyclist_data');
data = cell(10,1); 
 for sheetNo = 1:10
    data(sheetNo) = xlsread('cyclist_data','sheets{sheetNo}','B10:F370');
 end

1. Your filename needs an extension --> cyclist_data.xlsx
2. 'sheets{sheetNo}' is not how you use the variable sheets. Just look at how I used it in my example!
