how to import csv file in matlab
Hi, I have one question. I need to import data into MATLAB from a CSV file. Unfortunately, the data has header information in 3 columns. How do I skip the headers and get the data directly? For example: a= import data ('C:\s11.dat') * Then what is the next step? I need your help.

To import data from a CSV file into MATLAB use the “readtable” function. The “readtable” function automatically detects the header and the number of lines to skip.
T = readtable('myfile.csv');
Alternatively, you can specify the number of lines to skip using:
T = readtable('myfile.csv','NumHeaderLines',3); % skips the first three rows of data
