load files automatically and combine

4 views (last 30 days)
I have a lot of (about 100) short consequetive excel files with datestamps and data. I want to automatically load them in to matlab (all files in a specific folder), and them combine them into one file.
The name of the files is not changing with only a number, as it contains the timestamp of the first datapoint. So can I automatically load all files from a specific folder?
And how can I subsequently combine these files (or the date and data within this file) into one file?

YOu should try some thing like below. It should work, if any error let me know.
files = dir('*xlsx') ;
N = length(files) ;
T = readtable(files(1).name)
for i = 2:N
T1 = readtable(files(i).name)
T = [T ; T1] ;
end
writetable(T,'test.xlsx')

Thanks a lot!
This worked:
b=[ ];
for i=1:length(myFiles)
name=[myFiles(i,1).name];
[~,a]=xlsread(name);
b=[b; a];
end
xlswrite(filename,b);
