Syntax

NewDate = daysadd(StartDate,NumDays)
NewDate = daysadd(___,Basis)

Description

NewDate = daysadd(StartDate,NumDays) returns a date NewDate number of days away from StartDate.

If StartDate is a serial date number or date character vector, NewDate is returned as a date number.

If StartDate is a datetime array, then NewDate is returned as a datetime array.

NewDate = daysadd(___,Basis) returns a date NewDate number of days away from StartDate, using the optional argument Basis for day-count.

If StartDate is a serial date number or date character vector, NewDate is returned as a date number.

If StartDate is a datetime array, then NewDate is returned as a datetime array.

Open Live Script

Determine the NewDate using a date character vector for StartDate. 

NewDate = daysadd('01-Feb-2004', 31)
NewDate = 732009

datestr(NewDate)
ans = 
'03-Mar-2004'

Determine the NewDate using a datetime array for StartDate. 

NewDate = daysadd(datetime('01-Feb-2004','Locale','en_US'), 31)
NewDate = datetime
   03-Mar-2004

Determine the NewDate using a vector for StartDate. 

MoreDays = ['09/07/2002'; '10/22/2002'; '11/05/2002'];
NewDate = daysadd(MoreDays, 31 ,2)
NewDate = 3×1

Input Arguments

collapse all

Start date, specified as a scalar or an N-by-1 or 1-by-N vector using serial date numbers, date character vectors, or datetime arrays.

Data Types: double | char | datetime

Number of days from StartDate, specified an N-by-1 or 1-by-N vector using positive or negative integers. Enter a negative integer for dates before start date.

Data Types: double

Day-count basis of the instrument, specified as an integer with a value of 0 through 13 or a N-by-1 vector of integers with values of 0 through 13.

  • 0 = actual/actual (default)

  • 1 = 30/360 (SIA)

  • 2 = actual/360

  • 3 = actual/365

  • 4 = 30/360 (BMA)

  • 5 = 30/360 (ISDA)

  • 6 = 30/360 (European)

  • 7 = actual/365 (Japanese)

  • 8 = actual/actual (ICMA)

  • 9 = actual/360 (ICMA)

  • 10 = actual/365 (ICMA)

  • 11 = 30/360E (ICMA)

  • 12 = actual/365 (ISDA)

  • 13 = BUS/252

For more information, see Basis.

Note

When using the 30/360 day-count basis, it is not always possible to find the exact date NewDate number of days away because of a known discontinuity in the method of counting days. A warning is displayed if this occurs.

Data Types: single | double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Date for given number of days away from StartDate, returned as a scalar or an N-by-1 vector containing dates.

If StartDate is a serial date number or date character vector, NewDate is returned as a date number.

If StartDate is a datetime array, then NewDate is returned as a datetime array.
