Could someone help me import data from a .csv file?

I am having difficulties importing data from a csv file. Below you can find a copy of the first three lines. The first, a headerline and the second two are just the data. I have tried csv read and text read but seem to be running into problems. Could someone please tell me how to do it properly and explain why?

Kind regards,

Lennaert

file: 'summary.csv'

LINE 1:

If you have the Statistics Toolbox,try:

ds = dataset('File','summary.csv','Delimiter',',');

The fact that you have mixed types in your columns (numeric and text) makes dataset arrays the ideal container for your data.
