Fix x axis on plot

Hey, so I have a plot that displays data for a year starting from week 28 of a year and then going to week 27 of the next year. So I have excel data that runs from 28 to 52 and then 1 to 27. but when I plot it in matlab it rearranges the data so that it goes from 1 to 52? DO you know how I can fix this?

You can use 1:52 for the xdata and then tell MATLAB to set the xlabels to the ones you want.

You can use two distinct axes side-by-side.

I was about to suggest datetick() but I see that it does not have a format for week number; ah well.

I tried using a multiline array in the xlabel function, but it won't list the numbers properly

Use a cell string.

set(gca, 'XTick', 1:52, 'XTickLabel', [cellstr(num2str((28:52).')); cellstr(num2str((1:27).'))])
