How to use dates as x axis?

Good morning or afternoon to everyone. I've already searched a lot about this but I were not able to fix it, maybe I do not follow all the steps. I need to make a plot of different time series, where the x axis should be the time range, from january 2007 to august 2016. The dates are collected on a .xlsx file, and they are of the format dd/mm/yyyy. How can I use them as "values" of the x axis? Using xlsread they are uploaded as cell. I would really appreciate the help of who is going to answer me.

You could use them as xticklabels and use the datestr of your datetime values.

There are also more easier possibilities like datetick. For example,#

 plot(dateTimeVec,Measurements)
 datetick('x','mmmyyyy')
