You can do this using structures and the dir function. The following code could help.
filesDIR = dir;
c = 0;
for i=1:length(filesDIR)
if contains(string(filesDIR(i).name),{'.xlsx'})
c = c+1;
ExcelFiles.(strcat('F',num2str(c))) = xlsread(filesDIR(i).name);
end
end

Rather than getting dir to return te entire directory contents and then filtering the names afterwards it is simpler and more efficient to supply a suitable match string to dir:
S = dir('*.xlsx');
for k = 1:numel(S)
M = xlsread(S(k).name);
... do something with M
end
Using a cell array would be simpler and more efficient than dynamically creating structure fieldnames:
S = dir('*.xlsx');
N = numel(S);
C = cell(1,N);
for k = 1:N
C{k} = xlsread(S(k).name);
end
and is also exactly what the MATLAB documentation recommends:

You can use uigetfile() to get the folder name. Then you can use dir() to find the xlsx files in the folder. Then you can loop using readtable() and assigning the result into a cell array, or perhaps into a struct... you could even make a table of tables, I suppose.
However, we advise that you do not create new variable names corresponding to each file. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/304528-tutorial-why-variables-should-not-be-named-dynamically-eval
