eomdate (Financial Toolbox)

Last date of month.

Syntax

d = eomdate(y, m)

Description

d = eomdate(y, m)

returns the serial date number d of the last date of the month for the given year y and month m. Enter y as a four-digit integer; enter m as an integer from 1 to 12.

Either input argument can contain multiple values, but if so, the other input must contain the same number of values or a single value that applies to all. For example, if y is a 1-by-N vector of integers, then m must be a 1-by-N vector of integers or a single integer. d is then a 1-by-N vector of date numbers.

Use the function datestr to convert serial date numbers to formatted date strings.

Examples

d = eomdate(1997, 2)
d =
      729449
datestr(d)
ans =
28-Feb-1997
y = [1997 1998 1999 2000];
d = eomdate(y, 2)
d =
      729449      729814      730179      730545
datestr(d)
ans =
28-Feb-1997
