For loop that crosses different data sets.

I am trying to compile the data from many sets of data (tables) into a graph. I have successfully written the code to graph each at a time but I am now trying to add a for loop so that it will do many sets at the same time. I know I will have to call my data in by hand (import each individually), but is there a way that I will be able to create a for loop that can go into different data sets to get the points and then follow the code I have now?

This is what I have now for the plotting of individual tables:

"

%call in the data
x1 = BACK_2017_06_01(:,2);
y1 = BACK_2017_06_01(:,3);
z1 = BACK_2017_06_01(:,4);
t1 = BACK_2017_06_01(:,1);

%make the tables into numeric arrays
x = table2array(x1);
y = table2array(y1);
z = table2array(z1);
t = table2array(t1);
scatter3(x1{:,1}, y1{:,1}, z1{:,1})
hold on
xlabel('X')
ylabel('Y')
zlabel('Z')
hold off
figure

% plot x, y, and z against time
plot(t,x,'r')
hold on
plot(t,z,'b')
hold on
plot(t,y,'y')
title('x vs time')
hold off
legend('x','z','y')
figure"

Also, you can see that the tables have numbers in them so I think that I should be able to make an array of the tables by doing something like this "A = BACK_2017_06_01:BACK_2017_06_nn" but it has not worked yet.

Sarah - is BACK_2017_06_01 the data from one particular table? If so, then you could create a function (out of the above code) that takes BACK_2017_06_01 (or equivalent from the other tables) as an input. Then you could call this function for as many files that you have data

 function plotdata(myTableData)

 %call in the data
 x1 = myTableData(:,2);
 y1 = myTableData(:,3);
 z1 = myTableData(:,4);
 t1 = myTableData(:,1);

 % etc.

Though the above would create a new figure for each table input. Is this what you are looking for?
