How to make an histogram for month with datetime series, the data is windvelocity for a 1 year?

Hi everybody, thank you so much for reading me, i really appreaciate, so i have a little problem, is very simple i think, i want to do an histogram for every months, i have my data in datetime, and i have the wind velocity, but i want to know the frequency of the data for months, but i don't know what i can't

this is my code right now:

clear;clc;
numData = xlsread('enerosolar.xlsx','EneDicV')
vel        = numData(:,1);
Dia        = numData(:,2);
tEnersol=readtable('enerosolar.xlsx','Sheet','EneDicV');  % read into a table object
tEnersol.Properties.VariableNames={'Vel','Dia'};         % assign variable names
yr=2014;                                                 % need the proper year 
tEnersol.Date=datetime(yr,1,tEnersol.Dia);               % and create a date column
tEnersol.Date.Format='dd/MM';                            % display date format
hB=bar(tEnersol.Vel);                                    % bar plot in descending order vs ordinal position
hAx=gca;                                                 % get axes handle...
xticks(1:7:365)                                         % about all the ticks there's room for...
xticklabels(cellstr(tEnersol.Date(xticks)))              % use the date string as tick labels
hAx.XTickLabelRotation=45;                               % rotate so can have chance to read...
xlabel('Dia del año'), ylabel('Velocidad de viento promedido diaria[m/s]');
perc = hline(2.85154314702398,'r', 'Velocidad de viento promedio '); hold on
perc = hline(2.85154314702398,'r', '2.85 m/s '); hold on
% perc = hline(4,'r', '4-3 m/s'); hold on
% perc = hline(3,'r', '3-1 m/s'); hold on

figure(2)
histogram(day(tEnersol.Vel))
xlabel('Velocidad de viento promedido diaria[m/s]'), ylabel('Cantidad de días del año TMYV');
ax2 = gca;
ax2.XTickLabelRotation = 45;
savefig('histogram.fig');
h = openfig('histogram.fig');
y = findobj(h, 'type', 'histogram')

figure(4)

Thank you so much for your valious time.

Best!!

I don't think you want to do histograms. Try a boxplot instead. Boxplots convey information about the spread of the data, but in a manner that makes it easy to compare the results from each month of the year.

boxplot(vel,month(tEnersol.Date),"Labels",month(tEnersol.Date,"shortname"))

This is the result based on the data you shared.

OMG ! how awesome is that! THAAAANK YOU !!

[Ana Soph]

so sorry, i silly question, how can i put the names of the months in numbers?

[Cris LaPierre]

boxplot(vel,month(tEnersol.Date))

[Ana Soph]

sure!! so sorry :D thanks again
