minute

Although minute supports serial date number and text inputs, datetime values are recommended instead. The datetime data type provides flexible date and time formats, storage out to nanosecond precision, and properties to account for time zones and daylight saving time.

To convert serial date numbers or text to datetime values, use the datetime function. For example:

t = datetime(738427.656845093,"ConvertFrom","datenum");
m = minute(t)

m =

    45

There are no plans to remove support for serial date number or text inputs.

In previous releases, there were two minute functions: one in MATLAB^® that accepted datetime values, and one in Financial Toolbox that accepted serial date numbers or text values. As of R2022a, you can call minute without Financial Toolbox. When you call minute from MATLAB, it accepts all previous input types.

For example, you can make these calls with a serial date number and text from MATLAB:

m = minute(738427.656845093)

m =

    45

m = minute("2021/09/28 15:45:51.4160")

m =

    45

In addition, minute accepts a second input for the date format when the first input is not a datetime array:

m = minute(t,F)

In this syntax, specify F using a valid date format as documented for the datestr function, though 'Q' format specifiers are not supported. For example:

m = minute("2021/09/28 15:45:51.4160","yyyy/dd/mm hh:MM:ss.fff")

m =

    45
