a = xlsread('outdoorall.xlsx','H2:H52364');
b=xlsread('indoorall.xlsx','H2:H52364'); %2397
t=xlsread('outdoorall.xlsx','E2:E52364');% time in secs
for i=1:2363
dti=t(i+1)-t(i);
dt=(b(i+1)-b(i))/dti; % change in indoor temperature divided by time
c=dt/a(i)-b(i);
plot(c)
end
the idea is each time step is different so i want to divide the change in temp by each unique time step

Copy of question
a = xlsread('outdoorall.xlsx','H2:H52364');
b=xlsread('indoorall.xlsx','H2:H52364'); %2397
t=xlsread('outdoorall.xlsx','E2:E52364');% time in secs
for i=1:2363
dti=t(i+1)-t(i);
dt=(b(i+1)-b(i))/dti; % change in indoor temperature divided by time
c=dt/a(i)-b(i);
plot(c)
end
the idea is each time step is different so i want to divide the change in temp by each unique time step

My comment
Try
c = nan(1, 2363);
for i=1:2363
dti=t(i+1)-t(i);
dt=(b(i+1)-b(i))/dti; % change in indoor temperature divided by time
c(i)=dt/a(i)-b(i);
end
plot(c)
or
hold on
for i=1:2363
dti=t(i+1)-t(i);
dt=(b(i+1)-b(i))/dti; % change in indoor temperature divided by time
c=dt/a(i)-b(i);
plot(c, 'o')
end

Do this without a for loop
% Load data
a = xlsread('outdoorall.xlsx','H2:H52364');
b=xlsread('indoorall.xlsx','H2:H52364'); %2397
t=xlsread('outdoorall.xlsx','E2:E52364');% time in secs
a = a(:); b = b(:); t = t(:); % make sure we're working with column vectors
dti = diff(t) % difference between each value of t, length is one less than 1;
% it looks like your formula is the difference in db/dt divided by the difference between a and b.
% Pad db/dt with 0 so the array length matches with a and b.
c = [0; diff(b)./dt] ./ (a-b) ;
plot(t,c)
is this what you're trying to do?

"I need it to be consecutive values so i dont think rand would be useful to me."
You did not provide a, b, or t, so Adam Danz quite reasonably just used some matrices of random values in order to actually run the code on something.
You should use your own arrays, of course, not the random values that are just used for testing.
