read entire sheet in xlsread basic mode

I would like to read in the data on an entire excel sheet in linux. The size of the data is variable. From what i've read xlsread only works with the 'basic' option on linux. Is there any way to read the entire sheet?

When I try:

[num,txt,raw] = xlsread('myfile.xlsx','mySheetName','','basic')

all I get is the contents of the A1 cell.

Im using 2018b.

“xlsread” is not recommended instead you can use “readtable” function to read entire excel sheet.

You can refer to the below documentation for more information on “readtable” function.
