Adding filename inside table excel and merge
4 views (last 30 days)
Show older comments
I don't know it is possible, but I don't remember.
I have several excel (.xslx) almost 3000 file. I would like to insert filename inside table adding one column.
I put one example, these are file excel:
'filename1.xlsx'
'filename2.xlsx'
'filename3.xlsx'
'filename4.xlsx'
'filename5.xlsx'
'filename6.xlsx'
'.....xlsx'
Each excel file has two variables (data and rainfall). for example 'filename1.xlsx':
filename1.data
filename1.rainfall
I would like to put another variable (column) with the filename, in this case is filename1
filename1.data
filename1.rainfall
filename1.filename1
help me!
Maybe using "for"? I don't know
And then it is possible to merge all excel file creating one master excel file?

See your question is not clear to me. check this.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
myFolder = 'destination file'; % Define your working folder (have all your xlsx files here)
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if ~isdir(myFolder)
errorMessage = sprintf('Error: The following folder does not exist:\n%s', myFolder);
uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
return;
end
%this is if you input a wrong folder
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, '*.xlsx');
xlsxFiles = dir(filePattern);
%this will detect all xlsx files in your folder
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for k = 1:length(xlsxFiles)
baseFileName = xlsxFiles(k).name;
fullFileName = fullfile(myFolder, baseFileName);
%baseFileName is the name of your file, which we will use for extracting
%data.
fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', fullFileName);
%this will say which file its reading
xlsxData{k} =readtable(fullFileName);
T=xlsxData{k};
writetable(T(1:height(T),1:width(T)), 'dummy.csv');
opts = detectImportOptions('dummy.csv');
getvaropts(opts,{''}) % your columns names
opts.SelectedVariableNames = {''}; % col name seperated by commas
TT=readtable('dummy.csv',opts);
TT(:,5)= % something you want to save.
destination='your location';
writetable(TT,[destination,baseFileName,'.xlsx']);
Z = table2array(T(1:height(T),:));
B=str2double(Z);
clear TT T
fh = fopen('dummy.csv','w');
if exist('dummy.csv', 'file')==2
delete('dummy.csv');
%we are deleting dummy as dummy is being created in current folder, so it
%will be detected as a csv and the for loop will go on and on.
end
end
