I have a table with time values written like this: 0830 for 08:30 AM. How can I change the format, so that Matlab recognizes that this is a time and not a number?
Next, I'd like to plot values for each of these times in a graph. The values change, but the times repeat because there are only 24 hours in a day obviously. How can I plot the values after each other and not on top of each other for the different days?
Thank you so much for help on either problem.

Covert your times to strings (keeping the leading zeros), and then use datetime to convert..
T = 0830;
T = sprintf('%04d',T)
T = '0830'
dur = datetime(T,'InputFormat','HHmm','Format','h:mm a')
dur = datetime
8:30 AM
