Date of specific occurrence of weekday in month
Date = nweekdate(n, Weekday, Year, Month, Same)
n | Nth occurrence of the weekday in a month. Enter as integer from 1 through 5. | |
Weekday | Weekday whose date you seek. Enter as integer from 1 through 7. | |
1 | Sunday | |
2 | Monday | |
3 | Tuesday | |
4 | Wednesday | |
5 | Thursday | |
6 | Friday | |
7 | Saturday | |
Year | Year. Enter as a four-digit integer. | |
Month | Month. Enter as an integer from 1 through 12. | |
Same | (Optional) Weekday that must occur in the same week with Weekday. Enter as an integer from 0 through 7, where 0 = ignore (default) and 1 through 7 are as for Weekday. | |
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.
To find the first Thursday in May 2001
Date = nweekdate(1, 5, 2001, 5); datestr(Date) ans = 03-May-2001
To find the first Thursday in a week that also contains a Wednesday in May 2001
Date = nweekdate(2, 5, 2001, 5, 4); datestr(Date) ans = 10-May-2001
To find the third Monday in February for 2001, 2002, and 2003
Year = [2001:2003];
Date = nweekdate(3, 2, Year, 2)
Date =
730901 731265 731629
datestr(Date)
ans =
19-Feb-2001
18-Feb-2002
17-Feb-2003
