Importing data from excel

When I try to import data from excel decimal numbers are shown with / not . or , For example in my excel decimal number is 567,45 matlab shows 567/45. How can I change it?

which function do you use to import excel files ?
I used readmatrix, I think matlab shows me the numbers as division. When i divide numbers next to /, I got the values in my excel.

What country is your operating system setup for? Is it a country that uses comma instead of period for the decimal point? Otherwise there could be a mismatch perhaps between how the workbook was created and your operating system. Did you create it, or did some other computer create it? Can you attach it?

I'm not sure but I think it is Turkey. In Turkey comma is used for decimal numbers. In my excel whether it is comma or period it shows as division. I created excel sheet myself and I can not share it since it is confidential.
If you created one with just random numbers, that would not be confidential.
It is not random, I took them from a database, they are real process numbers.

I know that of course. But I'm saying that if you don't want to share a workbook with your "real" numbers and strings, then just make up a "fake" workbook with fake, made-up numbers and strings and upload the fake workbook.
