Why you can't? What did you try? What error you are getting?

Hello Amir,

You can use the readmatrix() function to import a .csv file into MATLAB. Keep the .m file and .csv file in same directory.

M = readmatrix('factoryReports.csv') 

For More info you can refer to this following documentation Read matrix from file - MATLAB readmatrix (mathworks.com).

Thankful

But I meant to download this file

data = readtable('factoryReports.csv','TextType','String'); % Read data
labels = categorical(data.Category);                        % Read labels
Error using readtable
Unable to find or open 'factoryReports.csv'. Check the path and filename or file permissions.

The error is self-explanatory, isn't it? readtable cannot find your file. Use full path to the file (E:\MyFiles\....\factoryReports.csv). Also make sure you have all the required permissions (e.g. admin).

Hi Amir,

There are a few potential reasons and troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Verify the file path: Double-check that you have provided the correct file path to the 'factoryReports.csv' dataset. Ensure that the file is located in the specified location and that the file name and extension are accurate.
2. Check the current working directory: MATLAB looks for files in the current working directory by default. Make sure that the 'factoryReports.csv' file is either located in the current working directory or provide the full file path when loading the dataset.
3. Check file permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access and read the 'factoryReports.csv' file. If the file is read-only or restricted, you may encounter errors when attempting to load it.
4. Check file name: Ensure that file name is correct and if still error persists then write whole address of the dataset.

I hope these steps will help you with your problem.

Thank you.

There is no file on the computer?

readtable() can read from URLs if you have a URL for the file.
