I have an excel file with multiple sheets and each sheet contains numbers and words. How can I upload the file so each sheet can be read and the values within it can be analyzed?

The excel sheets are recipes that contain a list of ingredients and the amount of that ingredient required for the recipe. We need to have these recipes uploaded to MATLAB so the program can read the content of the sheets. We are trying to create a program where a user can select the ingredients they have using checkboxes in a GUI and the program will display to the user which recipes they will be able to make using the ingredients they have. Ultimately, we would like to compare ingredients selected by checkboxes in a GUI to the ingredients in the recipes and determine what percentage of ingredients match.

I'd start by reading the help for xlsread, which allows you to specify the sheet you will be reading. Any more than that is impossible to answer, since only you know what is in the file and exactly what will be done with the result.

Different options include:
num = xlsread(filename)
num = xlsread(filename,sheet)
num = xlsread(filename,xlRange)
num = xlsread(filename,sheet,xlRange)
num = xlsread(filename,sheet,xlRange,'basic')
