I am trying to synchronize two tables, how do I do this to keep the date and time format?

4 visualizaciones (últimos 30 días)
app.bow_time_axis = datetime(app.bow{:,1:2},'InputFormat',"dd/MM/uuuu HH:mm:ss");
app.bow_timetable = timetable(app.bow_time_axis,app.bow{:,3:4});
app.stern_time_axis = datetime(app.bow{:,1:2},'InputFormat',"dd/MM/uuuu HH:mm:ss");
app.stern_timetable = timetable(app.stern_time_axis,app.bow{:,3:4});
app.comb = synchronize(app.bow_timetable, app.stern_timetable, 'first', 'pchip');
This the error message due to the datetime difficulty:
Unable to concatenate the specified table variables.
Caused by:
Error using datetime/horzcat (line 1341)
All inputs must be datetimes or date/time character vectors or date/time strings.
This is an example of the table format being used (note it is dd/mm/yyyy):

Please include a code example with data so that we can reproduce the error.

I think what may be of most help is this page on accessing data in tables. In the end, that is the biggest changes I made. Here are some suggestions:
  1. You can set the variable names in a single line of code using a cell array
  2. You can access data in a table using tableNm.varNm
  3. There is ambiguity in your date format. Specify this using detetectImportOptions and setvaropts.
  4. You can just add a datetime and a duration to combine date and time.
  5. Use table2timetable to create your timetable. Use the 'RowTimes' name-value pair to specify the time data. This way, you columns remain separate variables.
  6. UITable data cannot be a timetable. Convert back to a table using timetable2table.
I believe your error came from using the curly brace syntax to extract array data from your table: app.bow{:,1:2}. Here, column 1 is a datetime, but column 2 is a duration. These are different datatypes, so they cannot be placed into the same array, hence the error.
There may be some other small changes, so I'll share the updated functions below.

Thanks this is great, but I need only rows where both tables being synchronised have data to be added into the new table, with all others being removed.
Should I be using a loop for that or adjusting this line?

That is not what synchronize does. Instead, it uses the method you specify to fill in the missing data: "Synchronize timetables to common time vector, and resample or aggregate data from input timetables"
You probably want to look into joining tables if you only want to keep that data that corresponds to timestamps present in both tables. I think innerjoin accomplishes what you want.
