Hi, I have the following problem: I would like to plot two time series in the same graph which is working fine, but I would like to have displayed the data (here the respective vector is also called date) in a format such as: 01/01/2010 The plot should show the first day of each months so 01/01/2001 01/02/2001 and so on
the code I am using at the moment ist the following one:
filename = 'SPXvsVIX.xlsx';sheet=2;%3
xlRange='C7:C3402';date=xlsread(filename, sheet, xlRange);xlRange='D7:D3402';SPX=xlsread(filename, sheet, xlRange);xlRange='I7:I3402';VIX=xlsread(filename, sheet, xlRange);dateMatlab=date+693960;dataSet=[dateMatlab,SPX,VIX];%enter period you will look at
%start date:
DateString='05-Aug-2002';%DateString='01-Jan-2001';
StartDate=datenum(DateString);%end date
DateString='30-Jan-2003';%DateString='31-Dec-2001'
EndDate=datenum(DateString);%returns a data matrix consisting only of those datas which are between
%start and end date
dataSet = dataSet(dataSet(:,1)>=StartDate & dataSet(:,1)<=EndDate, :) ;dates=datenum(dataSet(:,1));%SPX
SPX=dataSet(:,2);%VIX
VIX=dataSet(:,3);plotyy(dates,SPX,dates,VIX);
