x=data;
inter = (x(:,2))/(4.308e-3);
wave=20*log(10,(inter/0.00002));
I'm getting an error in line 23 - the final line above, and I can't figure out why - the input data is values from an oscilloscope and I'm trying to convert it to SPL, it works when I was just converting from voltage to pascals (second line) so I'm assuming it's something to do with the logarithm?
Any help is really appreciated

It's log10() the syntax you were using is applicable only in MUPAD but not in matlab
x=data;
inter = (x(:,2))/(4.308e-3);
wave=20*log10(inter/0.00002);
