Details:

trying to xlsread ordinary 3D-tabel in attached file 'qplx2' on sheet 'ark1'
gives this in command window:


snip ******
Checking requested interface(s):
OCT*; (* = default interface)
warning: fopen: 'C:/Users/bbjn/Documents/Octave\qplx2.xlsx' found by searching
load path

file qplx2.xlsx couldn't be unpacked. Is it the proper file format?
warning: __OCT_spsh_open__: some elements in list of return values are
undefined
warning: xlsopen.m: file type not supported by OCT
error: File ptr struct expected for arg @ 1
>>


Relevant code is:

 chk_spreadsheet_support == 0   # default OCT interface
 # fil=strcat(filnavn,".csv");
 fil=strcat(filnavn,'.xlsx');
 [Data,Label] =xlsread(fil,arknavn,[],"OCT");


***** end of snip

Similar use in earlier octave versions using Java interface functioned fine
for xls files...
