Scientific notation values to the y axis label based on original data

Hey! I would like to automatically have the y-axis label updated based on the input values for the variable y. In this case I would like the line "-5" in the y-axis label replaced by "10^-5" (with the -5 shown as an exponent).
Thanks in advance for any help!
if true
% code
x=[1:3];
y=[.00002 .00004 .00006];
figure;
plot(x,y);
ylabexp=floor(log10(y(1)));
ylab = {'\uparrow';'\epsilon /';ylabexp;'M^{-1}'};
yh = ylabel(ylab);
set(yh,'rot',0)
ylabh2 = get(gca,'YLabel');
set(ylabh2,'Position',get(ylabh2,'Position') - [.1 0 0])
end

sorry, I'm new to matlab and not sure how to modify the code into appropriate spacing
Simplest is to insert to blank spaces in front of the first line of code in a new paragraph (ie, with a blank line in front of code)
I tried to run your code but couldn’t.
  1. PLEASE format your code — use the ‘[{}Code]’ button
  2. what is ‘yval’?
  3. Y not use semilogy?
Thanks for the help with the code button. I'm still getting "-5" in the y axis label and not "10^-5"
Attached is what i'm seeing when i run the code.

Change your ylabexp line to:
ylabexp=sprintf('10^{%d}',floor(log10(y(1))));
If I understand your question correctly, that should do what you want.
