Data does not plot after setting XTick and XTick Label

I am trying to plot the data in the image such that the only Xaxis points that are shown are the ones that have a data point there. I find all the Xaxis point that have data and store them in an array called UniqueFreq.

UniqueFreq =

        2012        2015        2018        2020        2023        1882        1885        1900        1915        1918

    set(gca,'xtick',1:numel(unique(UniqueFreq)));
    hold on
    set(gca,'xticklabel',unique(UniqueFreq))
    hold on
    xlim([0 numel(unique(UniqueFreq))+1]);
    hold on
    ylim([(min(YLim) - 0.5) (max(YLim) + 0.5)]);

After I do the above I try to plot the data using:

plot(DataArray{i,8},DataArray{i,9},'-o');
hold on

Where the X value is always one of the values in the XTick, for example, a plot value would be: plot(2012,1.5); However when I do this nothing plots.

If anyone has any idea it would be really helpful.

Thanks!

I found the problem.

The issue is with setting the xtick to 1:numel(UniqueFreq).

If I set xtick to the array UniqueFreq I am able to get the data to plot.
