How should I assign variables to the data imported from excel containing 3 columns which are time, mean and standard deviation. I want to perform operations on the three variables to get new variables.

The excel file can be found on the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B26xdKbTd58_SVRlOEdNaVV4VGM/edit?usp=sharing

{time, mean, std} = 
  Transpose[Import["C:\\Users\\...\\Downloads\\MEANSDVALUES.xlsx"][[1]]]

  • $\begingroup$ Okay I tried this,thanks. Then I create an array say time_t of 130 elements in which i want to fill the elements of the above time matrix. How should i achieve this.? $\endgroup$ – Pawan Apr 20 '14 at 9:40
  • $\begingroup$ @Pawan, not sure i understand; you mean something like array=ConstantArray[0,3,130}];array[[All,;;109]]={time,mean,std}? $\endgroup$ – kglr Apr 20 '14 at 9:56
  • $\begingroup$ I would like to add all the elements from a matrix into an array so that I can access each element as time_t[1,2]... and perform operations on them to get a new array. For e.g.. For 2 matrices say time= {0,1,2...130} and mean={1.2,4.5,...}, whose elements need to be transferred into 2 arrays say time_t and mean_t so that I can perform operations on the mean_t and time_t arrays to get new arrays(values) say time_t1 and mean_t1 $\endgroup$ – Pawan Apr 20 '14 at 14:49
