I have a cell array like above.
I want to convert this to a cell array only with dates.

That was an inadvertent INT() for FIX() , Walter. Seems in context of the reply would have been clear what was intended. Often fall into that as while ML has the the many intXX() versions, there's no generic as used to in Fortran...

"+calyears()" is probably the more expected behavior for financial and date-keeping purposes.

All three classes have methods specific to them.
The upshot is, one has to have an understanding of how things work to ensure one gets the result wanted for a particular purpose. Any of the above could conceivably be the desired result for a specific application.
The conversation has pointed out more specifics of the original point made...a datetime is a totally different animal than a datenum...
