Plot a time series with the whole number not 10^(n)

Hi

I would like to plot one time series which is able to show the whole number in y axis not 10^(n)

The following is my code.

y = yahoo;
Dataset = fetch(y, '^HSI','Close','2012-01-01','2012-02-01');
hsiobj = fints (Dataset(:,1),Dataset(:,2));
plot(hsiobj); legend('HSI');xlabel('Date'); ylabel('HSI');

I want to y axis showing 21000 instead of 2.1*10^4 etc.

Thanks so much Jessica

Yeah I deleted my answer after I realized that num2str doesn't work properly, but found that num2cell does. Glad it worked for ya! :)

Anyway thanks so much!

Great help=)

Using num2cell instead of num2str.

My answer is the following

y = yahoo;
Dataset = fetch(y, '^HSI','Close','2012-01-01','2012-02-01');
hsiobj = fints (Dataset(:,1),Dataset(:,2));
plot(hsiobj); legend('HSI');xlabel('Date'); ylabel('HSI');
set(gca, 'YTickLabel', num2cell(get(gca, 'YTick')))

Many Thanks=)
