Say I have an array in a .csv file like this:
a,b,c,d,e,f
20,1,10,100,1000,100
21,2,20,200,2000,200
22,3,30,300,3000,300
23,4,40,400,4000,400
24,5,50,500,5000,500
25,6,60,600,6000,600
and I want to solve this set of equations for g, h, and k:
f(a)=((((b-c)*g)/((d-e)*h))^f)+k
f(a+1)=((((b-c)*g)/((d-e)*h))^f)+k
f(a+2)=((((b-c)*g)/((d-e)*h))^f)+k
for the data in the first three rows, and then for the data in the second three rows and to repeat the process for n number of rows. I don't know how to call data from a .csv like that. Any tips?
Thanks.

Look into csvread and xlsread, they should be able to get the data imported into MATLAB.

Yeah, these commands are easy enough to understand now that I've read up on them, thanks. Would you have any advice for creating the system I described above, with the data entry occuring for every three lines?
