Hi all,
I would like to ask how is it possible to plot monthly data on an axis that displays years on the axis.
Many thanks!

Can you elaborate on what format your data is in? Do you have a time series of monthly observations? Are they serial date numbers, or just integer values, or years with fractional parts, or what? An example would help.

You were using datenum incorrectly:
startdate = datenum('31-01-2002','dd-mm-yyyy')
enddate = datenum('31-12-2010','dd-mm-yyyy')
dt = linspace(startdate,enddate,108);
data = rand(numel(dt),1);
plot(dt,data)
datetick('x','yyyy','keepticks')

If I'm guessing right what's your difficulty the fact that plot doesn't show "NaN" values should assist you.
Meaning, Pad your data to the 'x' length with "NaN".
