MATLAB: Converting Date and Time to Number

convertdateexceltime

Hi guys,

I have read in a column of dates and times from an excel document using xlsread and now have a cell of dates in the form 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss AM/PM'.

I would like to extract from this cell a vector with the time in the form hhmm. How might I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Justin

See datenum, datestr and their friends.

The format has to match exactly.

Both of these work:

S.textdata = '20-Nov-18 12:00:00 PM GMT';
d1 = datetime(S.textdata(1:end-4), 'InputFormat', 'dd-MM-yy hh:mm:ss a', 'TimeZone', 'UTC')
d2 = datetime(S.textdata, 'InputFormat', 'dd-MM-yy hh:mm:ss a ''GMT''', 'TimeZone', 'UTC')

producing:

d1 = 
  datetime
   20-Nov-2018 12:00:00
d2 = 
  datetime
   20-Nov-2018 12:00:00

Experiment to get the result you want.

   datestr(datenum(raw,'dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM:SS'),  'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS')
