Date of specific occurrence of weekday in month
Syntax
Arguments
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.

To find the first Thursday in May 2001
To find the first Thursday in a week that also contains a Wednesday in May 2001
To find the third Monday in February for 2001, 2002, and 2003
