importing data from excel, finding the last row and inserting value in a matrix

Hi,
I'm importing data into Matlab from excel via the following command:
cycle=xlsread('E:\dc.xlsx','Sheet1')
I do not know the number of the last row of data.
But I need to create a 2D matrix 'grade' with zero-zero on the first row and the number of the last row of data in the excel sheet and 0 on the second row.
For example if the last row of data was on the 10th row then 'grade' would be:
grade = [0 0;10 0];
How would I do this if I do not know the number of the last row of data in advance?
May thanks

If you're already reading in the data, why not just query its size?
nrows = size(cycle,1);
grade = [0,0;nrows,0];

did you try
size(cycle,1)
size along dimension 1 (rows) will give you the length of your dataset, and assuming you don't have any NaN in your set, it is the number of the last row.
you can then assign any variable, e.g.
Last = size(cycle,1)
Grade = [0,0;Last,0]
and get your output.
