One common xlabel and ylabel for multiple subplots

Is there a straightforward way to add one common x label and ylabel to a figure containing multiple subplots?
The solutions I read so far require a file exchange function or a fixed number of subplots, and my number of subplots ranges from 5 to 10 (generally in one column).
I'm imagining there must be a way to determine the overall figure size, regardless of the number of subplots, and center a single xlabel and ylabel on each axis of the larger figure.

Hi, the example code below adds one common xlabel and ylabel to a figure containing multiple subplots, irrespective of the number of subplots.
close all;clc;
fig = figure;
% Plot your subplots here
subplot(2,3,1); plot(rand(5));
subplot(2,3,2); plot(rand(5));
subplot(2,3,3); plot(rand(5));
subplot(2,3,4); plot(rand(5));
subplot(2,3,5); plot(rand(5));
subplot(2,3,6); plot(rand(5));
% Give common xlabel, ylabel and title to your figure
han=axes(fig,'visible','off');
han.Title.Visible='on';
han.XLabel.Visible='on';
han.YLabel.Visible='on';
ylabel(han,'yourYLabel');
xlabel(han,'yourXLabel');
title(han,'yourTitle');
Hope this helps!
% Create a tiledlayout
figure
t = tiledlayout('flow');
% Plot in tiles
nexttile, plot(rand(5))
nexttile, plot(rand(5))
nexttile, plot(rand(5))
nexttile, plot(rand(5))
nexttile, plot(rand(5))
nexttile, plot(rand(5))
% Specify common title, X and Y labels
title(t, 'Common title')
xlabel(t, 'Common X label')
ylabel(t, 'Common Y label')

If you have R2018b or later, use sgtitle().

@Charles Daigle I'm not sure what you mean. You can give a title to each axes with title. Perhaps if you posted a screenshot. Do you mean that you don't want each y axis to have it's own label and you want a single y label for, say, a stack of 10 plots? You know you can just have no label and use text to put up a vertical label to the left of all your plots positioned and rotated however you like.
