Convert datetime to numeric - preserve date format

41 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a timetable with dates (datetime data type) in the format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm'. I want to convert these to a numeric data type (double) but keeping the exact numbers of each date such that the datetime '2023-02-27 14:00' is converted to the double '202302271400'. The function yyyymmdd() allows me to do this for the date, but not the hour and minute, and none of the other built in functions to convert to datenumber seem to have this option. Thanks for any insights to this problem.

Edited to work with datetime array vs a single datetime.
d = datetime(['2023-02-27 14:00'; '2023-02-27 15:00']) % test data - replace with your timetable
d = 2×1 datetime array
27-Feb-2023 14:00:00 27-Feb-2023 15:00:00
s = string(d, 'yyyyMMddHHmm')
s = 2×1 string array
"202302271400" "202302271500"
format long
% f = cellfun(@(s)sscanf(s, '%f'), s) % original method of converting to double
f = double(s) % An easier/cleaner method. Thanks to Walter for reminding me about this.
f = 2×1
1.0e+11 * 2.023022714000000 2.023022715000000
compose('%.0f', f)
ans = 2×1 cell array
{'202302271400'} {'202302271500'}

@Campion Loong You are right, I'm interfacing with a (poorly designed) database for a local weather station.
