Need name of particular 'nth' sheets

I would like to get names of only highlighted sheets. There are about 50 excel files I will load these files together using pushbutton and parallely I want these only 4 sheetnames (with sheet no. 10,12,13,14 respectively) in listboxdata. All the excel files have same format so position of sheets are fixed.

use xlsinfo,

 [status,sheets] = xlsfinfo(filename)

then sheets is a cell array with all the sheet names in your file. Since you already know the indices, you can get them by,

 wanted_sheets = sheets(1,[10,12,13,14])

[filename] = uigetfile('*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.xlsb', 'Multiselect', 'on');

[status,sheets] = xlsfinfo(filename)

probably I dint get you. Am working with something like these uigetfile would help me load multiple files. But executing xlsfinfo does not give me anything.

How do i execute?

wanted_sheets = sheets(1,[10,12,13,14])

what do you mean by "load multiple files"? do you want to import the data from all the files? or do you want to just to get all filenames and sheet names all those excel files?

just want to get these 4 sheetnames from all the excel files. I will be handling data from these sheets further.

Alright. Do you have all these files in the same folder? if so you don't have to use uigetfile,

 folderInfo = dir('foldername\*xls'); %assuming only the files you want exist
 filenames = {folderInfo.name};
 sheets = cell(size(filenames));
 for k=1:numel(filenames)
     [~,sheets{k}] = xlsfinfo(filename{k});
 end
