lbusdate (Financial Toolbox)

Last business date of month.

Syntax

d = lbusdate(y, m, hol)
d = lbusdate(y, m)

Arguments

y: Year. Enter as four-digit integer.

m: Month. Enter as integer from 1 to 12.

hol: Vector of holidays and non-trading-day dates. All dates in hol must be the same format: either serial date numbers or date strings. (Using date numbers improves performance.) The holidays function supplies the default vector.

Description

d = lbusdate(y, m, hol)

returns the serial date number for the last business date of the given year y and month m where hol specifies non-trading days.

y and m can contain multiple values. If one contains multiple values, the other 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, them 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 = lbusdate(1997, 5)
d =
      729540
datestr(d)
ans =
30-May-1997
y = [1997 1998 1999];
d = lbusdate(y, 5); datestr(d)
ans =
30-May-1997
29-May-1998
28-May-1999
