Plot histogram(change axis)

Question

I have n*2 matrix for example matrix A.First column is some index and the second one is the histogram.I want to visualise only the nonzero histogram,so, I filtered A and deleted the index with histogram zero. I use

 bar(A(:,1),A(:,2))

I didn't use excel. How can I plot it in excel?

This is my data (so I want to display only the elements of this matrix but as you see in figure it display all index from zero to end in x axis and I want to display only the index of nonzero values in x axis)

    1   0.0573770000000000

It has very bad visualisation.Is it possible in matlab or I should use another software?

The result of Roney answer in my data. (I want the real label from my data below each bar in x axis.)

Thanks

Answer 1

If you mean the you want the non-zero bars to be displayed without gaps between them for the zero values, you can do the following:

>> non_zero = A(:,2) ~= 0;
>> bar(A(non_zero,2))
>> set(gca, 'XTick', 1:sum(non_zero));    %New code.
>> set(gca, 'XTickLabel', num2str(A(non_zero,1)));

For say,

>> 
A = [
1 0.001
2 0.005
4 0
5 0.003
];

The resultant figure would be:

For your data, the result would be:
