How to create a colourmap from coordinates and values from excel?

I am looking to produce a colourmap
My data is in excel with one column for the x-axis and y-axis co-ordiantes, with values attributed to each point. I am looking to make a colourmap with this data.
For example:
Lateral: Depth: CL:
0 0 2.8
0 1 3.2
0 2 9.4
0 3 21.5
0 4 25.1
0 5 29.1
1 1 3.5
1 2 3.5
1 3 8.2
1 4 19.0
1 5 27.6
1 6 28.2
So lateral is the x co-ordinate, depth is the y co-ordinate and CL is the value I want to plot.
I am fairly new to MatLab and have not produced anything like this before.
Thank you in advance!

The type of plot was not mentioned. If you're creating a scatter plot, it's as easy as,
scatter(Lateral, Depth, 30, 'CL', 'filled')
where the 3rd input specifies the size of the markers. scatter(x,y,sz,c)
Update If you want a rectangular image, use imagesc(x,y,C) but first you need to reshape C into a matrix with rows and columns defined by x and y. That's shown in this answer.
