When trying to call xlsread, I get the warning:
Warning: Could not start Excel
server for import, ‘basic’ mode
will be used. Refer to HELP
XLSREAD for more information.

Upgrade to R2012b, which allows reading sheets and ranges in Excel files on all platforms
Use any of the (somewhat involved) approaches discussed in this post of Undocumented Matlab
