The data are quite noisy. After filtering them, it is not obvious what sort of inflection point you want or how to define it.
M1 = readmatrix('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1265285/data.xlsx')
M1 = 1430×2
0 32.2683 0.0050 32.2683 0.0100 32.2683 0.0150 32.2683 0.0200 32.2683 0.0250 32.2683 0.0300 32.2683 0.0350 32.2683 0.0400 32.2683 0.0450 32.2683
x = M1(:,1);
y = M1(:,2);
% yf = sgolayfilt(y, 3, 451);
Fs = 1/mean(diff(x))
Fs = 200
Fn = Fs/2;
L = numel(x);
NFFT = 2^nextpow2(L);
FTy = fft((y-mean(y)).*hann(L),NFFT)/L;
Fv = linspace(0, 1, NFFT/2+1)*Fn;
Iv = 1:numel(Fv);
figure
semilogy(Fv, abs(FTy(Iv))*2)
grid
xlim([0 10])
yf = lowpass(y, 0.5, Fs, 'ImpulseResponse','iir');
dyfdx = gradient(yf) ./ gradient(x);
d2yfdx2 = gradient(dyfdx) ./ gradient(x);
figure
yyaxis left
plot(x, y, 'DisplayName','Unfiltered Data')
hold on
plot(x, yf, '-r', 'DisplayName','Filtered Data')
hold off
ylabel('Data')
yyaxis right
plot(x, dyfdx, 'DisplayName','First Derivative Of Filtered Data')
hold on
plot(x, d2yfdx2, 'DisplayName','Second Derivative Of Filtered Data')
hold off
yline(0, '-g')
ylabel('Derivatives')
grid
legend('Location','best')

The ischange, islocalmin, and/or islocalmax functions may be of use to you, as might the corresponding Live Editor Tasks Find Change Points and Find Local Extrema.
