How do I write a statement that will discard any values in an array if they are over a certain value?

I want to say that if my height variable is > 1 then not to return the value in my matrix?

I have a 73 x 1 array and in the column I only want to read in the row if the value is less than 1.. I have imported the file in by writing:
File = xlsread('Group B input.xlsx');
And I now want to say that matlab should only read in the values < 1

It is easier to import everything to Matlab and then do the processing. Alternatively you could preprocess in Excel if you are more comfortable doing that.

I think you're looking for logical indexing:
heights = .1:.3:2
heights < 1
heights(heights<1)
