How I can substract vectors with different length?

If d is a vector containg the data for each day of march for 13 years. So, d is a vector with 403 values.
Then mu and sd are the mean and standard deviation of march for each year. mu and sd are vectors with 13 values.
I need to calculate first d-mu, and then d-mu/sd. How to do it in matlab?

I presume you mean to standardize the monthly data by year...presuming you have a date variable along with the observation, then findgroups and splitapply will do the job; otherwise the "dead-ahead" solution is to just repelem the values of the mean, sd array...
z=(d-repelem(mu,31))./repelem(sd,31);
where I've used mu, sd for mean, std dev instead of ill-chosen x, y
ADDENDUM
Would have been easier to have been told what things were from the git-go instead of having to download the data...but
d.StdDemand=(d.Demand-repelem(mu.Demand,31))./repelem(sd.Demand,31);
dereferences all the timetables.
In general, since you'll undoubtedly be wanting to do this for other months, replace the hardcoded 31 with a variable for the proper number of days in month (also remembering to account for leap years for February).

And, I just showed code that works on that data here in the amended Answer.
As for leap years and days therein, eomday() is leapyear aware so using it instead of hardcoded days would be one way.
