Essentially you are correct. I suppose xlsread() does everything I wanted,
however at the time I didn't know about the function, so I made do with what I
did. What I liked about the way I processed the data is that when I type:
g=menu("Enter Field1 To View Histogram:", This_Data.Row1);
I can immediately call
[frequency,bin]=hist(This_Data(g).Data);
Which I can then "play with" :)
Works for me.
