Answer 1

[Andrei Bobrov]

a = randi(3456,52584,1); % a your hourly data
out = mean(reshape(a,24,[]));

Thank you very much...it was so easy for you I guess, but I'm trying all day to do it. I need more Matlab practice...Thanks again

Hey,

Sorry realise this post is really old, but was just wondering what the 3456 is referring to?

[Felipe]

It is the maximum value of random numbers.

[Felipe]

You can specify min and max values in randi function.

Answer 2

[Raju Purohit]

use a "for" loop. If your data values are stored in x, then

sum = 0;
for i=1:52584
  sum = sum + x(i);
end
avg = sum/i;

Hope this helps.
