endPlease, how can I import the data I generated in Excel into matlab to perform a Fourier transform of the data. I have attached the Excel file for your help. The data is from a "design of Wilberforce pendulum". Do I need to save the file in a certain format?
Your help is really appreciated. Thank you
So I have this code, but how do I bring in my data work with the code?

Ts = 1/Fs; % Sample time

I would recommend starting with the Import Tool. This will let you easily import the XLS data as a table, numeric matrix, or column vectors. Line 407 in your data looks empty, so you can decide how MATLAB handles importing that row. For example, you can select the Range to be A2:E1004 and then create a rule to Exclude rows with blank cells to eliminate row 407. Then you can select the Output Type to be of your preference. If you select "Column vectors" then the names of your columns (which is row 1) are taken as the new variable names for each column.
From there, it looks like you have all of the FFT code already working.

Dear elizabeth, where is line 407, I am trying to excess or upload data from excel as well,
and kind of understand but not exactly, if can verifiy please
thank you
