How to plot the average plot out of three plots

Hello everyone, i have extracted the data from the excel to plot the graphs .Now , i want to plot the average plot in the same graph .i have three plots in the same graph which each of the three has different 1 column but different rows.i would be grateful if anyone could help me to get the idea of how to plot that graph.Thank you in advance.

You should decide the x-axis same for all the data and make y-values NaN for out of odmain/ extrapolation range and use mean/ nanmean.
  1. Check the dimensions of each data.
  2. Fix the common x-axis data to get the all the data to this x-axes. I would pick the data1, as it covers the more range of x-axes when compared to other data.
  3. Get the data2, data3 to the x-axes domain of data1.
  4. Use interp1 to get the data2, data3 to the x-axes range of data1. The extrapolation points should be set to NaN.
  5. Use nanmean or mean nan flags to get the avarage of data1, data2 and data3.

Thank you for reply but how to interp the data.when i went throught the matlab help section ,it says vq=interp1(x,v,xq).its not clear what the v is supposed to be.
Your data1, data2, data3 has both (x,y) respectively right? So the y value of each data goes to v.
I have tried to write code from the internet.can you please help me to correct it as i am the beginner on matlab. i tried to run the code written below but it said it has errors.Appreciate your help
clc
clear all
load=xlsread('steelgraph.xlsx','D2:D3042');
disp=xlsread('steelgraph.xlsx','E2:E3042');
plot(disp,load)
xlabel('displacement(mm)')
ylabel('load(KN)')
title('steel(2%)')
grid on
hold on
load1=xlsread('steelgraph.xlsx','J2:J1795');
disp1=xlsread('steelgraph.xlsx','K2:K1795');
plot(disp1,load1)
hold on
load2=xlsread('steelgraph.xlsx','O2:O1906');
disp2=xlsread('steelgraph.xlsx','P2:P1906');
plot(disp2,load2)
legend
xavg=linspace(0,0.01,2.3);
y1avg=interp1(disp(:),load(:),xavg(:),'linear');
y2avg=interp1(disp1(:),load1(:),xavg(:),'linear');
y3avg=interp1(disp2(:),load2(:),xavg(:),'linear');
y_avg=mean([y1avg y2avg,y3avg],3);
figure
plot(xavg ,y_avg)
Wahat error you are getting? You should attach your files to check the code for error.
Why don't you attach all your data in a mat file..

HERE ,i have attached the excel as well s mat file.Thank you for your continuous help

load("Data.mat")
x1 = data(:,2) ;
y1 = data(:,1) ;
%
x2 = data(:,4) ;
y2 = data(:,3) ;
%
x3 = data(:,6) ;
y3 = data(:,5) ;
plot(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3)
hold on
plot(x1,[y1+y2+y3]/3) ;
legend('data1','data2','data3','average')
Data.mat is not able to open .and also data 2 and data 3 has not the ssame value so we need tto interpolate?
