X and Y coordinate extraction from a vector

I have a vector which represents displacement over time. Its a 7116 by 1 matrix. How do i extract the x and y coordinates from this.

You have only displacement ..values...how do you expect to have (x,y) positions? You can only get the indices....if it is okay..attach the data.
This is the data. Please take a look into it.

[num,txt,raw] = xlsread('displacement.xls') ;
x = 1:length(num) ;
plot(x,num) ;

mahesh bvm commented: It works! Thank you so much. May I know the difference between the data coded in 'num' and 'raw' outputs. I did go through the xlsread but could not understand it clearly.
num gives you only numeric data.
txt gives you only text data.
raw gives you entire data in a cell array.
Thanks is accepting/ voting the answer.
