plot with string value in x axis

I have a data

date               temperate
----
'2020-01'       10 
'2020-02'       10 
'2020-03'       20

I tried

plot(date, temperature)

and got "invalid data argument"

Please advise.

Convert the string array to datetime, and then it will work like you expect.

datetime(yyyy_mm,'InputFormat','yyyy-mm')

does not work

Did you see your previous thread https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/558439-month-as-a-two-digit-number#comment_923876 ?

Solution: the problem is that in Matlab 'mm' is minuets that one needed to use 'MM' for months.
