Convert scalar values into date time and viceversa

Hello, I want to obtain an estimated date in the future from adding a numerical value (converted into date) plus today's date. In other words, take today's date and sum it to the equivalent date in years, months and days from a scalar result previously obtained.

Any body have an idea. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

One approach:

D = datetime('now');
Future = D + days(1000)

producing:

Future = 

  datetime

   05-Feb-2022 09:13:39

Experiment to get the result you want.

EDIT —

Offset = days(Future - D)

Offset =
     1000

Hi,

It is possible and here is the command syntax:

DateStr = '12-May-2019';
FormatIn = 'dd-mmm-yyyy';
Today = datenum(DateStr,FormatIn)

DateNumber = Today+1;
FormatOut = 'mmmm-dd-yyyy';
str = datestr(DateNumber,FormatOut,'local')

vice-versa:

Good luck.
