Deletion of first element from excel while writing that in to txt file

Hi, I have an excel with 2 columns, I am reading this file from .m file and through dlmwrite, writing it to the note pad but I want to skip the first element when ever it writes to the note pad with empty string or blank but not with the second element.

misvar = xlsread('mistry.xls'); m1=misvar(:,1); m1=m1'; dlmwrite('PRM.txt',m1,'delimiter','\t','-append','newline','pc');

output file is also attached to the above question, I wan to skip value 300(first element in the output) and leave it blank

This will be the your answer.

if true
  misvar = xlsread('mistry.xls'); 
  misvar(1,1)=""; % empty string
end

[raghavendra kandukuri]

well it works, while it is writing to the txt file it is writing the first element as NAN, is there any way to just leave it blank, the reason is this output file, is going to be input for some other application which just accepts numbers, I am attaching the output.

[Yuvaraj Venkataswamy]

This is the command to leave it blank.

if true
  misvar =xlsread('mistry.xls'); 
  misvar(1,1)=[];
end

But, we can't do that. Reason is there in below link.

[raghavendra kandukuri]

It does not work either, it is throwing the following error:

A null assignment can have only one non-colon index.

Error in untitled>pushbutton3_Callback (line 225) misvar(1,1)= [];

For that only I attached reason in the above link.
