plotting 3D bar graph in matlab or excel

Question

I need to plot a 3D bar graph in matlab or excel. I am going to use some dates in x-axis, time in y-axis and some amount on the z-axis. Each record in csv file looks like ...

18-Apr, 21, 139.45

I am not sure how to do this right. can anyone help me please. I tried using pivort chart of excel. however, i could not manipulate the axis and use appropriate space between each tick.

thanks kaisar

Answer 1

Since the question is lacking details, let me illustrate with an example.

Consider the following code:

%# read file contents: date,time,value
fid = fopen('data.csv','rt');
C = textscan(fid, '%s %s %f', 'Delimiter',',');
fclose(fid);

%# correctly reshape the data, and extract x/y labels
num = 5;
d = reshape(C{1},num,[]); d = d(1,:);
t = reshape(C{2},num,[]); t = t(:,1);
Z = reshape(C{3},num,[]);

%# plot 3D bars
bar3(Z)
xlabel('date'), ylabel('time'), zlabel('value')
set(gca, 'XTickLabel',d, 'YTickLabel',t)

I ran on the following data file:

data.csv

Answer 2

使用MATLAB的CSV读取功能 （或编写您自己的），然后使用bar3显示数据。
