The above graph is a graph using Var1_Time and Hammer (input) data Var2_1 through Var2_5, the time data of the referenced file 120mm.xlsx.
>> plot(Var1_Time,Var2_1)
>> hold on
>> plot(Var1_Time,Var2_2)
>> plot(Var1_Time,Var2_3)
>> plot(Var1_Time,Var2_4)
>> plot(Var1_Time,Var2_5)
But I want to make a graph about Hammer (input) data by changing Var1_Time, which is time data, to frequency domain using the fft algorithm, but I don't know how. I'd really appreciate your help.

Try this —
T1 = readtable('120mm.xlsx')
T1 = 10240×13 table
Var1_Time Dev3_ai0 Dev3_ai1 Var2_1 Var2_2 Var2_3 Var2_4 Var2_5 Var3_1 Var3_2 Var3_3 Var3_4 Var3_5

Your data are not regularly sampled, so it is necessary to use the resample function here to produce reliable results, since fft and nearly every other signal processing function require regularly-sampled data.
I created the ‘FFT1’ function for my convenience. Feel free to use it.

Wow, thank you so much. I'll bring you as a big brother. However, I need to divide the Var2_1~Var2_5 and Var3_1~Var3_5 graphs in order to organize the experimental data, so can I get one more help?

As always, my pleasure!
I will be happy to help you, however I am not certain what you want. What do you intend by ‘... I need to divide the Var2_1~Var2_5 and Var3_1~Var3_5 graphs in order to organize the experimental data ...’? How do you want to divide them?
Perhaps this —
T1 = readtable('120mm.xlsx');
VN = T1.Properties.VariableNames([1 4:end]);
t = T1{:,1};
s = T1{:,4:end};
Ts = mean(diff(t));
Tsd = std(diff(t));
Fs = fix(1/Ts)
Fs = 1024
[sr, tr] = resample(s, t, Fs);
[FTs1,Fv] = FFT1(sr,tr);
figure
tiledlayout(5,1)
for k = 1:5
nexttile
plot(Fv, mag2db(abs(FTs1(:,k))*2))
title(strrep(VN{k+1},'_','\_'))
grid
axis([0 max(Fv) -100 10])
end

figure
tiledlayout(5,1)
for k = 1:5
nexttile
plot(Fv, mag2db(abs(FTs1(:,k+5))*2))
title(strrep(VN{k+6},'_','\_'))
grid
axis([0 max(Fv) -100 10])
end

function [FTs1,Fv] = FFT1(s,t)
t = t(:);
L = numel(t);
if size(s,2) == L
s = s.';
end
Fs = 1/mean(diff(t));
Fn = Fs/2;
NFFT = 2^nextpow2(L);
FTs = fft((s - mean(s)) .* hann(L).*ones(1,size(s,2)), NFFT)/sum(hann(L));
Fv = linspace(0, 1, NFFT/2+1)*Fn;
Iv = 1:numel(Fv);
FTs1 = FTs(Iv,:);
end
.

Thanks for help, But what i want is your 1st graph(Frequency-Magnitude graph including Var2_1~Var3_5) i need 2 Frequency-Magnitude graph. One is Var2_1~2_5. Other is 3_1~3_5. Again, thanks for help
