loading in a folder of excel files

I have a folder of excel files and I want to load in all of the data from all the files into Matlab to analyze the data. There are about 50,000 files and 100 pieces of data in each. How can I get Matlab to load in all of the data at once without having to do each file manually?

As Stephen commented: use a for loop over all the file names. If needed, use dir(*.xlsx) to get a list of all excel files in the current directory.

Getting the data from each file is probably easiest using xlsread.

xlsread with a for loop is definitely the simplest way to get the data, but you might investigate the ActiveX capability for quicker usage.
