Filters - time domain

I would like to use a filter to re-position parts of a signal so that they oscillate around zero. My signal has a mixture of parts that are correct and those that are off by a certain amount. Can you suggest the best filter to do this as I would like to keep my signal in the time - domain

If I understand you Question correctly, a high-pass filter that filters out the lowest frequencies (including the d-c offset) will work. If you have high-frequency noise, a bandpass filter would be best.

There are several ways to design filters in MATLAB, including dfilt and designfilt. My filter design procedure is here: How to design a lowpass filter for ocean wave data in Matlab?

Thank you very much for your response. Will this work considering the DC offset is only there for very small parts of the signal?

My pleasure.

A d-c offset will be present for the entire length of the signal. If you have a varying baseline, you will need to use a bandpass filter to pass only your frequencies of interest, eliminating the low-frequency baseline variation.
