I have separate column vectors of dd, mm, yyyy, HH and MM, how do I combine them into the format dd-mm-yyyy HH:MM to plot on the x axis

I have the variables day, month, year, hour and minute - all column vectors.

How do I combine these into the dd-mm-yyyy HH:MM format so I can plot this on the x-axis of a graph?

Read about datetime. https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/datetime.html

For example:

Xye = [2023;2024;2024];
Xmo = [12;01;01];
Xda = [31;01;03];
Xho = [02;23;07];
Xmi = [59;01;23];
D = datetime(Xye,Xmo,Xda,Xho,Xmi,0)

D = 3x1 datetime array
   31-Dec-2023 02:59:00
   01-Jan-2024 23:01:00
   03-Jan-2024 07:23:00

plot(D,rand(size(D)))
