OS: Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon Octave: GNU Octave, version 7.1.0
I want to read an *.xls file in Octave running on Linux MINT.
However, when I run the code I get the following message:
`error: 'xlsread' undefined near line 41, column 32
Functions for spreadsheet style I/O (.xls .xlsx .sxc .ods .dbf .wk1 etc.) are provided in the io package. See https://octave.sourceforge.io/io/.
Please read https://www.octave.org/missing.html to learn how you can contribute missing functionality`
What should I do?
I have installed the io package by running:
pkg install -forge io in Octave command window
