Trying to transform data into FFT format

I have been trying to convert data into FFT format, but it does not look like a wave in the graph. The columns I am calling to match the first plotted diagram. The data does not look like a wave up close as it should. I am assuming that is the problem.
%T = xlsread('Baseline.xlsx');
t = T(:,1);
x_t = T(:,5);
t=t-t(1);
plot(t,x_t);
S = [t,x_t]
X = fft(S)
plot(X)

Why are you taking a fourier transform of your time variable? Why does your time variable have duplicate values? Why does the other column contain nan or inf?
From muy understanding the fft command is for a function. I only have data. So, I
converted the data into a 2x* matrix to FFT it. I do not have a good understanding of the command when it comes to raw data.
