MATLAB

To follow up with https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/683318-date-and-time-from-text-with-literal-characters-part-2?s_tid=srchtitle
The data is like 
Date           Visitors
'Jan 1 2020'   100
'Jan 2 2020'   50
I now want to create a new variable 'date' and set the value of the second row to be 1/1/2020, and then increment one by one. How can one let Matlab do this?

Best Answer

date1 = datetime('Jan 1 2020','InputFormat', 'MMM dd uuuu','Format','M/d/yy');
date2 = datetime('Jan 5 2020','InputFormat', 'MMM dd uuuu','Format','M/d/yy');
date = date1:days(1):date2
date = 1×5 datetime array
   1/1/20   1/2/20   1/3/20   1/4/20   1/5/20
Or if you know the number of rows but not the end date:
date = date1 + days(0:4)
date = 1×5 datetime array
   1/1/20   1/2/20   1/3/20   1/4/20   1/5/20
