The demo here doesn't specify how to download the file dowPortfolio.xlsx from the first line in the tutorial: T = readtable('dowPortfolio.xlsx');

Any help here (please tell me it's not just me)?

Nevermind, evidently you literally can just copy that line into the command window and MATLAB executes it. How is this? Presumably this .xlsx file comes shipped with MATLAB?

That sounds right.
I notice that there are many MATLAB example from MathWorks that use that same file ro demonstrate different MATLAB features..
