datastore won't read variable names

Hi,
I'm trying to read data from a large csv file using matlab 2020a.
However, the variable names aren't read and I get 'Var_1', 'Var_2' etc. as the variable names.
How can I make it read the variable names?
Thanks
____
EDIT: The problem was the 'NumHeaderLines' property. It was automatically set to 1 when it should have been set to 0.

Use PreserveVariableNames options
ds = datastore('filename', 'PreserveVariableNames', true)

Hi, Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work...
Is there any error?
No, but the varible names are set to 'Var1', 'Var2' even though there are different headers in the csv file.
