Reading value from Excel file in App Designer

I am trying to read the value in a specific cell (say, A2) in an Excel file and use this value as the input of a numeric field in app designer. Can I know how I can do this? Cheers.

Please see the app attached. I used uigetfile to select the file and then xlsread to extract the value of interest from the Excel file. I would use readcell in the latest releases of MATLAB.

[filename, folder] = uigetfile('*.xls*');
app.EditField.Value = xlsread(fullfile(folder,filename),1,'A2');
