MATLAB: How to convert dates in the format yyyymmdd to mm/dd/yyyy

Question

I have a vector of dates (in number format) in the form yyyymmdd (ex: 20100903 for 9/3/2010). I need to convert these to mm/dd/yyyy and in cell format. How would I do this?

Answer 1

As Peter showed you in https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/386494-how-to-convert-numbers-in-the-form-yyyymm-to-dates-in-the-form-mm-dd-yyyy#answer_309124

datetime(YourVector, 'ConvertFrom', 'yyyymmdd', 'Format','MM/dd/yyyy')

If you need that in cell format as character vectors, then cellstr() the result.
