I am facing difficulties in plotting my time series data.The data file is also attached.I write code like this but doesnt work.
data3=readtable ('PRICE_AND_DEMAND_Jan.csv')
Date_Time = data3(:,2);
datecell=table2cell(Date_Time);
load = data3(:,3);
A = table2array(load)
p=datenum(datecell);
plot(datenum(datecell), A)
datetick('x', 'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM:SS')
% datetick('x', 'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM:SS')

Matlab 2018b.
I think MATLAB in my computer has changed the default settings of date reading.It by deafault reads dates in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Seriously,this plotting problem is irritating now.

You have dates like xx-yy-zz. That's kind of ambiguous. You'll want to provide a format.

Try it:
data3=readtable ('PRICE_AND_DEMAND_Jan.csv')
Date_Time = data3(:,2);
datecell=table2cell(Date_Time);
load = data3(:,3);
A = table2array(load)
formatIn='dd-mm-yy HH:MM'
p=datenum(datecell,formatIn);
plot(p, A)
datetick('x', 'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM')
set(gca,'XTickLabel',datestr(p),'XMinorGrid','on')
grid

Still with a problem to 'calibrate' the x axes but the code 'works'.
clear all
close all
data3=readtable ('PRICE_AND_DEMAND_Jan.csv')
Date_Time = data3(:,2);
datecell=table2cell(Date_Time);
load = data3(:,3);
A = table2array(load)
formatIn='dd-mm-yy HH:MM'
p=datenum(datevec(datecell,formatIn));
plot(p,A)
datetick('x', 'dd-mmm-yyyy HH:MM')
set(gca,'XTick',p([1 size(p,1)/4 size(p,1)/2 (size(p,1)/4)*3 end]),'XTickLabel',datestr(p),'XMinorGrid','on','FontSize',7)
grid

Are you running the entire code or assuming you already 'uploaded' the variables? The problem is with the format of your variable Date_Time that for some reason converted to a 'char' vector. Instead mine's not. When I convert to datecell, I do not have problems with datenum or datevec. Maybe this problem is related to the version of matlab as questioned by madhan ravi.

I am running the entire code you posted above.I think my PC Matlab is reading the dates incorrectly.Is there any command to reset the date preferences in MATLAB?

In something as recent as R2018b, stay away from datenum and datetick if possible. (Also, hardly ever does one need table2cell, brace subscripting would have done the same thing, but you don't want to do that thing anyway.)
Try this:
>> t = readtable('PRICE_AND_DEMAND_Jan.csv','Format','%s%{dd-MM-yy HH:mm}D%f%f%s');
>> t.REGION = categorical(t.REGION);
>> t.PERIODTYPE = categorical(t.PERIODTYPE);
>> head(t)
ans =
8×5 table
REGION SETTLEMENTDATE TOTALDEMAND RRP PERIODTYPE

Thank you peter for your useful reply.How to set time and date limits on x-axis? i tried to use "xlim" but it give me errors.for instance:
start time =01-jan-2016 00:00
end date =01-jan-2016 23:30

You are going to need to post something more than that. That is not MATLAB code. In recent versions of MATLAB, all you need to do it set xlim with datetimes.
