Description

Date = nweekdate(n, Weekday, Year, Month, Same) returns the serial date number for the specific occurrence of the weekday in the given year and month, and in a week that also contains the weekday Same.

If n is larger than the last occurrence of Weekday, Date = 0.

Any input can contain multiple values, but if so, all other inputs must contain the same number of values or a single value that applies to all. For example, if Year is a 1-by-n vector of integers, then Month must be a 1-by-n vector of integers or a single integer. Date is then a 1-by-n vector of date numbers.

Use the function datestr to convert serial date numbers to formatted date strings.
