I have this table
I am trying to plot column 4 and 7 on a graph, however they are not numerical values.
I want to see if theres' a correlation between the two.
Is there any way to do this?

How you can get correlation among a string and number?

Two strings, actually. Everything in the table(?) is text.

The question you are asking seems like you need to think in terms of contingency tables. The Statistics Toolbox has some tools to work with those.
The onl;y plot I know of for categorical vs. categorical is called a mosaic plot. I believe there's an implementation on the File Exchange.
