Hello, I want to plot a surface, but I have my variables in vector form x=1884x1, y=1884x1 and z=1884x1. This does not fit the dimension that are needed to plot a surface. How can I continue?

Depending on what you want your plot to look like, I would use either scatter3 or plot3.
If your data are in a sense gridded (your x or y vectors have regularly-repeating segments for example) you could use reshape and then use a surface plot.
Without your data or an image, it is not possible to provide a definitive reply.

Your data are repeating but not regularly repeating, so reshape is not going to work. They also do not appear to me to be appropriate for a surface plot, since that would require significant interpolation.
I would use stem3 (since that locates each point in Z to particular coordinates on the (X,Y) plane), although scatter3 would work as well:
I1 = load('Søren Schwartz x.mat');
X = I1.MNSv;
I2 = load('Søren Schwartz y.mat');
Y = I2.Tv;
I3 = load('Søren Schwartz z.mat');
Z = I3.Calls;
figure(1)
stem3(X, Y, Z, '.')
grid on
That is likely as close as you can get to a 3D plot with your data.
