This should work:

date_num = cellfun(@(x)datenum(x, 'ddd, mmm-DD-YY'), check123);

[AA]

cellfun(@(x)datenum(x, 'ddd, mmm-DD-YY'), check123(~cellfun('isempty',check123)));

with empty lines u can use the above, thanks bro

datenum('Thu, Sep-24-15', 'ddd, mmm-DD-YY')

Answer 3

[AA]

i used this code

>> date_num = cellfun(@datenum, check123, 'ddd, mmm-DD-YY');

check 123 is a cell array with one column of the dates in the format 'ddd, mmm-DD-YY'. I get the error message Input #3 expected to be a cell array, was char instead.

how can i correct this error?
