I am using the datenum function to convert a time stamp in my dataset to a serial number. This is the line that does it:
wind.t = datenum(wind.TheTime,'mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:SS');
It is failing on one dataset and not on another and I don't understand why. There is nothing different between the two datasets, other than one is much longer.
Both timestamps are formatted the same way, but the longer one gives this error:
Error using ==> datenum at 174 DATENUM failed.
Caused by: Error using ==> dtstr2dtnummx Failed on converting date string to date number.
The info about the timestamp column was found using the 'summary' function below. They are identical.
wind = summary(wind)
TheTime: [27878×1 cell string, Units = TheTime]
summary(wind)
TheTime: [2047×1 cell string, Units = TheTime]
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
