MATLAB: Load Multiple Files For Batch Processing (uigetfile)

In this video, I walk through setting up a simple load and loop structure that will facilitates batch processing. The code uses MATLAB's built-in uigetfile function to allow the user to manually select files to be processed. The code then loops through each file. Although no specific analysis is run on each file in this video, the general structure demonstrated can be used to batch process multiple files.

Just what I needed...perfect. thanks very much. Doing some analysis on electrical data taken from various locations on the grid. I have functions for the analysis on each field, so will now be able to fill out the structure with the analyzed dara...then need to set up the same thing to plot the data....very helpful thanks again.

Thank you, very helpful. If anyone is looking to use a .txt file use importdata() instead of xlsread()

Your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much for the great explanations

[@QuickCodesWithDaniel]

Thanks! Glad you've found them helpful!

Thank you so much! Your video really helped a lot.

You're welcome!

Best one. Saved my day.Thankssssssssssssss. Stay blessed

Hi Dev, the video was very helpful. Here the example you have highlighted it is showing the file name of trial 4 only, however the figure is showing all the results of the 4 trials, how to see the data file of the four files not only the last file.

Great video, thank you mate!

[@annemaria4760]

thank you its very helpful.. i am dealing with looping the data

[@matinjaberi8993]

thanks video was really useful. but is there a way to do similar thing when we have different length array size? like one 5x20 and next 5x30

[@chibiomechanics]

This is an excellent video - thank you! If I do some calculations on these multiple files though, how can I export them? This is one thing I seem to be really stuck on and I'm not sure what to look for to solve it.

[@ewunate]

Thanks so much, I got it useful
do you have other related videos on batch processing?
if yes can I get it?

[@sudheev5734]

Dear Daniel, this video was really so cool. Could you please post any videos on the waterfall plots in Matlab?

[@seyedurmanghozati5343]

hey great video. But what if we wanted to plot one figure of merit from each excel file but all in one figure for comparison purposes.

[@BensonMunywoki]

Thank you so much, could you please do the part of the exporting a summary data from the many files. Say for example you are calculating an average value and you want to produce the report for all the files in one excel table.

[@queengagyeltshen]

Is there a way wherein I can output the repetitive result from a Matlab program to an Excel? By default it only gives out the last variable in excel format but it suppresses whatever is there before it. I there is a way, I would be glad to know from you. Thank you in advance.

Hi how do u do batch process through multiple .txt files for a matching variable values located from a excel file row ? Can you show please

Using this code, how could I write it and find a daily temperature max and min against the overall average temperature?

Bro, what if I want to perform a set of calculation for all the data from all files ??

[@Parkysplayground]

Having trouble with this one, it says that filename must be a string scalar or character vector ( I am using readtable as its a txt. file), not sure how to fix this

hallo Mr Daniel,,,I have problem load multi file type XDF, Can you help me ? I use your code and change from xlsread to load_xdf or pop_loadxdf but fail

[@markremark]

Hi Dan, this is great. In the video you mention that you load the files into a "matlab" structure. Is there any chance you could show how you do this...and then how you would go about pulling the data from the structure? #MatlabNewbie

[@QuickCodesWithDaniel]

Hi Mark - yeah, I can put a video together for this, but it may take a day or two. I will post back when I upload one!

[@QuickCodesWithDaniel]

Mark - here is a video on MATLAB structs! I hope it helps. Please don't hesitate to reach out if needed!

Hello, how can I change my csv files to matfile? As you mentioned? Is it possible to multiply one column and other for the tables in the loop file?

[@umarshariff7105]

Hi
I have doubt in .mat files can you reach me

[@alanebadreddine1190]

thanks.

[@yadavvallinagmani1909]

Does it work for CSV files?

[@QuickCodesWithDaniel]

It should, but you may have to change the load function. MATLAB recently started suggesting 'readtable' as a general file load function!

[@David24476]

@@QuickCodesWithDaniel Do you know how to select specific files? Let's say you have more excel files but you only want to select Trials1-Trials4
