How to read CSV files one at every time using uigetfile and apply a set of formulae

Hi, I have several CSV files that contain 10,000 rows by 16 columns in a .CSV generated file as seen in the attachment. I want to execute some formulae on these data so that I can open it up and be able to run the formulae for each CSV file. How can I make this file to work?
Originally I had to convert CSV files to xlsx and then read it as follows.
[num21 txt21 numtxt21] = xlsread('R21_08S','B2:Q10001');
However this is too tedious and I would rather read it as:
[fNameDatai,pathNameData]=uigetfile('*.csv', 'Select the DATA file','Multiselect','on');
if ~iscell(fNameDatai),fNameData{1}=fNameDatai;else fNameData=fNameDatai;end
so that I don't have to convert CSV file to xslx and be able to just select the rows and columns I need.
Thanks

To process a sequence of files, use one of the two code samples in the FAQ:
Just alter it so that the filenames are what you get from uigetfile() instead of dir().
You can use csvread() instead of using xlsread().
