Get Data from a 16414x6 array to 365 arrays with size(48x3)

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello,
I Have an array that consist meteorological Data for 365 days.
For every day (24 Hours) i have 48 entries in that table because it is seperated for every 30 minutes.
That gives me a table with 16414 rows and 6 coloums.
What i need is to seperate the days in different tables with only 3 of the coloums of the original one.
For example i want to have 365 tables with size (48,3)

I came up with a different solution. I am attaching it here if it helps anyone.
I basically created an index for eax individual array i was trying to create. I scanned over the whole table and then assigned the values to different arrays to work with the values
IndxFeb=1;
IndxMar=1;
LenghtDataset = height(Dataset_Table); %Get the number of rows in the Dataset_Table
%Checks the Timestap to assign values to the correct arrays
for i=1:size(Dataset_Table)
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%Check if it's January
if (Dataset_Table{i,1} <= datetime(2019,01,31))
JanuaryTime(i)= Dataset_Table{i,1};
JanuaryGHI(i)= Dataset_Table{i,4};
JanuaryTamp(i)= Dataset_Table {i,6};
end
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%End of January Test
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%Check if it's February
if (Dataset_Table{i,1} >= datetime(2019,02,01) && Dataset_Table{i,1} <= datetime(2019,02,29))
FebruaryTime(IndxFeb)= Dataset_Table{i,1};
FebruaryGHI(IndxFeb)= Dataset_Table{i,4};
FebruaryTamp(IndxFeb)= Dataset_Table {i,6};
IndxFeb = IndxFeb + 1;
end
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%End of February Test
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%Check if it's March
if (Dataset_Table{i,1} >= datetime(2019,03,01) && Dataset_Table{i,1} <= datetime(2019,03,31))
MarchTime(IndxMar)= Dataset_Table{i,1};
MarchGHI(IndxMar)= Dataset_Table{i,4};
MarchTamp(IndxMar)= Dataset_Table {i,6};
IndxMar = IndxMar + 1;
end
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
%End of March Test
%----------------------------------------------------------------------

You are making your life needlessly complicated. If you discover you want a minor change, you will now have to change your code in 12 places, instead of 1. It is of course up to you, but I would seriously suggest using something else. You can even use the month function to index that array:
x={'jan','feb','mar'};
x{month(datetime)}%datetime without input returns the current date and time
ans = 'feb'

I didn't know about that function. That's great news!
This is the first time i am using MATLAB for some Data Analysis.
I will try it and update the post!
Thank you Rik!

I would suggest using a 3D array instead. If you dynamically generate variable names you are shooting yourself in the foot. You can use the reshape function to reshape your data to a 3D array.
