Hello,
I'm having a problem as I try to plot two columns of data from excel (temperature over time). I keep getting the following error. (Error using plot
Invalid data argument.) My code is below.
%%Use readtable for importing data from excel%%
WData = readtable('WeatherData1.xlsx');
%(1)Determine Temperature Variations throughout the year.
%Extact High temperatures
TempH = WData{2:366,2};
y = TempH;
%Extract Low temperatures
TempL = WData{2:366,4};
%Extract Avg Temperatures
Tempavg = WData{2:366,3};
%Extract the dates
Dates = WData{2:366,1};
x = Dates;
%plot the temperture variations over the year
plot(x,y)

what shows up for class(Dates)? I would not be astonished if it were a cell array of character vectors: depending on how the time is represented in Excel, it might not be interpreted as a datetime.
Also which release are you using?

I attaced an image of what shows up and I'm currenty using R2018b from my school. In excell its set as Date.

and could you confirm that y is numeric?
R2018b is new enough that datetime plots were supported.
You could experiment with
plot(datenum(x), y)

Please share the full error message (all the red text).
Also, what data type is y?

y is not numeric, y is cell!
Please attach an (extract from) 'WeatherData1.xlsx'

Here is the document. I checked the excel document to make sure that the column with the dates are set as dates and the columns with the weather data is set as numbers.

The only issue I see is that you are indexing 266 rows but you only have 265. What version of MATLAB are you using?
%%Use readtable for importing data from excel%%
WData = readtable('WeatherData1.xlsx');
Warning: Column headers from the file were modified to make them valid MATLAB identifiers before creating variable names for the table. The original column headers are saved in the VariableDescriptions property.
Set 'VariableNamingRule' to 'preserve' to use the original column headers as table variable names.

hello
your code works fine with my R2020b
what do you get as table in WData ?
I get :
WData =
365×20 table

My WData table looks the same as yours, so you also got a plot as well from the code.

I figured out the issue, My WData had quotations around my number data and after I removed that, I recieved my grpahs and it was plotted correctly

You would get that if you tried to read a header. You might need to use detectImportOptions first which was not yet automatic in your release.

You can generate dates as per the values in the excel sheet. This won't throw an error for dimension mismatch.
[~, ~, weather_data] = xlsread('WeatherData1.xlsx','Sheet1','A1:B367');
weather_data(cellfun(@(x) ~isempty(x) && isnumeric(x) && isnan(x),weather_data)) = {''};
weather_data=weather_data(3:end,:);
time=cellfun(@(x) datetime(datestr(datenum(x,'dd-mmm-yy'))) ,weather_data(:,1),'uni',0);
temp=weather_data(:,2);
plot(cat(1,time{:}),cell2mat(weather_data(:,2)))
Hope this helps.
