Need help for loop keeps overwriting plots

Hi everyone, I am working on some code and I am having issues. Every time I run the code instead of obtaining 5 unique figures, I get the same figure 5 times as my code reads all of the files but only plots the last one.

        numfiles = 5;
        mydata = cell(1, numfiles);

        for i = 1:5

            myfilename = sprintf('file%d.xlsx', i);
            mydata{i} = xlsread('Base_01');

            myfilename = sprintf('file%d.xlsx',i);
            newdata{i} = xlsread('Hydrophone_01');

        end
        save('mydata.mat')
        save('newdata.mat')

        for i = 1:5 %why is it only plotting the last data set
            thisfig = figure();
            Data = mydata{1,i} (15005:21255,:);
            subplot(3,1,1);
            plot(Data(:,1),Data(:,2))
            xlim([60 85])
            title('Amplitude vs. Time for Base Data')
Code continues on further but I just shortened it here because this is the main issue I am having.

Thanks! Any help will be appreciated.

This code plots two diagrams on top of each other - as should be expected.

for ii = 1:2 %why is it only plotting the last data set
    thisfig = figure();
    Data(:,2) = randn( 17, 1 );
    Data(:,1) = (1:17)';
    subplot(3,1,1);
    plot(Data(:,1),Data(:,2))
    title('Amplitude vs. Time for Base Data')
end

what does the randn do?

Also, what do you mean by plotting two diagrams on top of each other?

[per isakson]

• "what does the randn do?" See randn, Normally distributed random numbers
• "two diagrams on top of each other" I mean two figures on top of each other. Run my code and see for yourself.
• I use R2018a

numfiles = 5;
        mydata = cell(1, numfiles);
        for i = 1:5
            myfilename = sprintf('file%d.xlsx', i);
            mydata{i} = xlsread('Base_01');
            myfilename = sprintf('file%d.xlsx',i);
            newdata{i} = xlsread('Hydrophone_01');
        end
        save('mydata.mat')
        save('newdata.mat')
        for i = 1:5 %why is it only plotting the last data set
            thisfig = figure(i);
            Data = mydata{1,i} (15005:21255,:);
            subplot(3,1,1);
            plot(Data(:,1),Data(:,2))
            xlim([60 85])
            title('Amplitude vs. Time for Base Data')
end

I have tried that already. When I use

thisfig = figure(i);

I end up obtaining the same plot 5 times.
