Why is data being imported improperly into the Simulink Data Inspector from my CSV file?

3 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to import data into the Simulink Data Inspector from a CSV file in MATLAB R2019a, but I'm observing some weird behavior. The file I'm trying to load has two columns: time and signal values. Below is an example of what my CSV file looks like.
When I try to load the data in, it reads each entry as a signal rather than each column.

This behavior may happen if you are saving the XLSX as CSV on a Mac / Linux machine. MS Excel has the option to save XLSX as CSV with 4 different options. They are CSV, CSV UTF-8, CSV (Macintosh) and CSV (MS-DOS). The unexpected behavior is only observed when the file is saved as CSV (Macintosh). The expected behavior is observed with any of the other 3 formats. As a workaround, you should use any of the other 3 options for saving the file as CSV.
