MATLAB: Referring to a specific cell in Time series object in Matlab

time series object referencing

Hi all,
My question is that how can I subtract two prices(numeric values) in Matlab. One value is in a row dated 1/1/2010(say 70496 in Matlab format)and column 'spotprice' in a time series object/table.
and
the other price is in another time series object/table in the 'forwardprice' column and in row dated 5/1/2010.
How to refer to these specific cells?
we can't use sql type command "where date=1/1/2010 in Matlab?
Anxiously waiting for responses.
Regards,
Ahmad.
