title: Matlab xlsread cutting off file after row 1048576
body: <p>Is there any other way of importing an Excel formatted .csv into Matlab other than xlsread(file.csv);</p>
  
  <p>The file I have contains 2830082 lines, and xlsread seems to have a limit of 1048576 lines when reading it - the rest gets cut off.</p>
  
  <p>The file looks like: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Time, Value
  12:07:29, -1.13
  12:07:29, -7.54
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So using csvread(..) isn't going to work because of the date format.</p>
