Need help with datenum function
显示 更早的评论
I'm using Matlab R2015b. I have "date" variable ( 178x1 cell ) inside a struct named "data". It consists of one column with multiple rows that consists of dates in dd/mm/yyyy format. Now I'm trying to convert them into numbers using datenum command,
dates = datenum(data.date, 'dd/mm/yyyy');
but it returns me with error.. What am I doing wrong? I've attached a screenshot of what the data looks like. Thanks in advance.

Note that the first row is the string ‘date’. The datenum function will fail on that, so start with the second row instead.

My general solution is for you to address the rows of your array as:
dates = datenum(data.date(2:end), 'dd/mm/yyyy');
This is a guess, so make any necessary changes.

My pleasure.
You have to use 2:end with every column.
No worries!

If you have R2015b, you will likely be happioer using datetimes rather than datenums:
dates = datetime(data.date(2:end),'Format','dd/mm/yyyy')
You may also want to use a table, rather than a scalar struct, but hard to say without seeing more.
