Use xlsread with at least two outputs:
[num,str] = xlsread(filename);

I have found that pretty much every time that I need strings from a .xls or .xlsx file, that I need to use the third output from xlsread, the "raw" output. -- otherwise it gets too messy to try to figure out which numbers correspond to which strings, in my experience.
