Plotting radar plot in matlab like the one in excel

hello, i have been looking around for ages about this. there's a function in excel where i can plot data in circle.

for example i have i have an arra

y of time and force. in excel, i can put the time (x axis in circle and the force will goes in circle.

i tried polar function, compass but it does not turn out like i want to. here's the picture i got from excel.

if you can see from the picture attached, time is written at the outer circle and the force value at each time internal will follow.

anyone?

I would browse the file exchange but the closest one i found was http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/33134-radar-plot which you may be able to use.

I have tried the radar plot unfortunately it doesn't turn out like i want it to be. it seems easy to do it in excel, and it's a shame that i couldn't find a way to do it in matlab

The label seems to be linear indices so I'm curious what is the meaning of this plot. Is it scanning the space? Thanks.
