Certainly.  Try this:

set logscale y
set xdata time
set timefmt "(%d.%m. %Y,"
set format x "%d.%m.%Y"
plot '-' using 1:3 with lines
(01.01. 1996, 100)
(01.01. 1997, 150)
(01.01. 1998, 236)
(01.01. 1999, 529)
(01.01. 2000, 1200)

I'll leave it to you to look up the commands in the manual or the on-line
"help" to see what bells and whistles are available.
