I am plotting x-y plot using plot function. I want to set only y-axis as log scale and x-axis as linear? How to do that? I used loglog function but it scales both axis but I want only Y.

The best way to create that type of axes is to use the semilogy function. Alternatively, you can set the ‘YScale’ property on the axes:
set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')
***Update from Mathworks Support Team - September 2023***
As of R2023b, you can also use the 'yscale ' function.

Thank you Mr walter,
i have attached one image,
in that my data file having values from 100 to 14000.
if i plot histogram without x axis set properties it showing like figure 'A', in that bins starts from 0-300,300-600...etc like that.
but if i use set (gca,'xscale','log') command to the x scale it showing initial bin from 300-600,600-900....etc.you can see in figure 'B'
my question is what about values in between 0-300 from figure 'B' , why these are not appearing how to solve it,if i want to get xscale in log values histogram initial bin from 0-300,300-600...etc are needed to change properties in that to command?can you please explain me
i can provide my data file also to you

This issue arises because the first bin edge is at x=0 and log(0)=-inf which cannot be represented graphically.
Assuming there are no data less than or equal to 0 and no bin edges less than 0, you could set the first bin edge according to the smallest value in the data.
x = rand(1,1000)*10000;
minPositiveValue = min(x(x>0),[],'all');
minbin = 10^floor(log10(minPositiveValue));
ax = axes();
h = histogram(ax, x);
ax.XScale = 'log';
if h.BinEdges(1) == 0
h.BinEdges(1) = minbin;
end

Starting in R2023b, you can change the scale of any axis after you create the plot by calling the xscale, yscale, or zscale function.
For example, create a plot of two vectors x and y. Then set the scale of the y-axis to logarithmic.
x = 1:100;
y = x.^2;
plot(x,y)
grid on
yscale log

The easiest way to do this is simply use the following command instead of plot
semilogy(x,y);
This will plot x axis on a linear scale and y axis on a log scale. Similarly, if you want to plot x axis on log scale and y axis on a linear scale, you can use
semilogx(x,y) ;

semilogy() is the first thing I mentioned in my answer in 2016.
