Why Convert XLS to MAT file?

Excel spreadsheets are great for organizing data, but MATLAB works with its own MAT file format for loading data directly into scripts and analysis tools. Converting XLS to MAT packages your spreadsheet's values into a format MATLAB can import and work with immediately.

Numeric data and basic structure carry over well. Formulas, cell formatting, and multiple sheets don't translate directly into MAT's data-array structure, so you'll get the underlying values rather than any spreadsheet-specific formatting.
