Count occurrences of dates in an excel file

Hi,

The attached excel file contains a list of dates. I need help counting the number of occurrences for each date then sum them for each week. Where the week is counted from Sun - Sat.

For example, for the week of 5/1/15 John placed 21 orders.

Thanks

[~,~,dc] = xlsread('Orders.xlsx');       % T = readtable('Orders.xlsx');
z = dc(2:end,:);                         % z = table2cell(T);
t = cellfun(@ischar,z);                  % t = ~cellfun(@isempty,z);
nd = weekday(datenum(z(t),'dd.mm.yy'));
ds = datenum(z(t),'dd.mm.yy');
ddf = diff([nd ds]);
lo = [true;ddf(:,1) < 0 | abs(ddf(:,2)) > 7];
i0 = double(t);
i0(t) = lo;
i1 = cumsum(i0).*t + 1;
i2 = ones(size(i1,1),1) * (1:3);
out = accumarray([i1(:),i2(:)],1);
out = out(2:end,:);

[num,txt,raw] = xlsread('Orders.xlsx') ;
dates = txt(:,1) ;
d =  {'30-06-2016'} ;
% d = {'05-01-2015'} ;
idx = strcmp(dates,d) ;
count = length(find(idx==1));

Hi Dr. Siva Srinivas Kolukula,

Thanks for your response.

Looks like I stated my original post wrong. Your code seems to compare the dates to the the date stored in d. I actually need to count all that fall between 05-01-2016 and 05-07-2016, etc

I will use your code as a starting point.

Your question is not quite clear to me, but you may find that converting your dates to datetime and using the week function is the way to go. Hope this helps.
