Combining two datetime columns into one
显示 更早的评论
Hi
I am trying to combine two columns in a table that are formated as datetime. Date is in format 'mm/dd/yyy' and Time is in format 'HH:mm'
I have tried:
%Obs_data.Timestamp = Obs_data.Date + Obs_data.Time;
Error
Addition is not defined between datetime arrays.

d=[Obs_data.Date,' ',Obs_data.Time];
datetime(d,'InputFormat','MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm');

d=[Obs_data.Date,repmat(' ',size(Obs_data.Date,1),1),Obs_data.Time];%assuming the dates and times are character arrays
%d=[char(Obs_data.Date),repmat(' ',size(Obs_data.Date,1),1),char(Obs_data.Time)];
%use above to convert to char arrays if necessary
datetime(d,'InputFormat','MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm');
Why is your Time data stored as a datetime array? IMO it would make more sense for you to import or create it as a duration array.
I don't know how to add yesterday and tomorrow in a way that makes sense but I know how to add right now and 6 hours.
rightNow = datetime('now')
h = hours(6)
sixHoursFromNow = rightNow + h % datetime + duration = datetime
If you're reading your time data as text (say from a file) you can convert that to a duration array pretty easily.
h2 = duration('01:23', 'InputFormat', 'hh:mm')
anHour23MinutesFromNow = rightNow + h2
