How can I delete the same chunck from a column?

I am new to Matlab (coming from R). Sorry if the question is very basic.

I have a 216x8 table. The first column is a Date column which looks like this:

    03-Jan-2002 00:00:00    
    07-Feb-2002 00:00:00       
    07-Mar-2002 00:00:00       
    04-Apr-2002 00:00:00            
    02-May-2002 00:00:00
    
    %I would like to get this though while keeping all the other columns constant:
    
    03-Jan-2002    
    07-Feb-2002       
    07-Mar-2002       
    04-Apr-2002             
    02-May-2002

Suppose your table is in the variable tbl. Try this

tbl.Date.format = "dd-MM-yyyy"

--loren

For table "T" and datetime column "Var1"

T.Var1.Format = 'dd-MMM-yyyy';

Thanks a lot Adam!

Glad I could help.

You might want to checkout timetables instead of regular tables.

Checking out, thanks a lot! Lot of things to learn when moving from a software to another one!

I've used R and I think Matlab is much more intuitive (of course I'm biased).

[Armando MAROZZI]

This is encouraging Adam. I have to say that, even if I have been reading and trying to do some simple things on Matlab only for a day (so just at first impact), I agree with you.
