I have a dataset with column1 = date and column2 = data. The problem is that my date is in yyyymmdd format. How can I get MATLAB to plot the date correctly in the x-axis?
Thank you in advance! :)

First convert the text string date format to Matlab serial dates --
doc datenum
Then plot with that value as the x-axis value and format the dates as desired via
doc datetick
dn=datenum(data(:,1),'yyyymmdd');
plot(dn,data(:,2))
datetick('x','keepticks','keeplimits')
Salt to suit...

This answer is now out of date...use the new(ish) datetime class instead of datenum

Better form would be to create a new question, but it is at least related so I'll consider it here as "close enough"... :)
Problem first is we need to know how the date data are actually stored and imported. Since the date of the original Q, TMW has introduced the datetime class/object and improved graphics routines to be datetime aware so things are different now than then...
