Are you sure you need datenum? We recommend datetime instead.

the important thing is so bring it to matlab while avoiding NaNs. Not sure though why datetime is better than datenum (I am used to work with datenum) . Nevertheless, I think datetime will work as well.

datetime('03mar2013', 'inputformat', 'ddMMMyyyy')
