Converting serial date to regular dates

Hi guys

I am very new to MATLAB so please bare with me.

I am combining 5 x .mat files for climate reanalysis plots.

Most of the code works but it's the converting dates line not working.

The code is:

plot(datenum(data_all(:,1)),data_all(:,2),'-r');

Now this produces the correct plot but with serial numbers. I've tried many variations to try to fix this but none are working.

Thank you in advance!

Abi
