Answer 1

[Sean de Wolski]

datevec or datestr

doc datevec
doc datestr
%For future reference: since you're using datenum, the conversions are probably related to it; if you look at the bottom of:
    doc datenum
it has the inverses.

Answer 2

datestr(serialnum, 'MM/DD/YYYY')

Thanks a lot :)

[George Scott]

'mm/dd/YYYY' ('MM' is a minutes format, not months)

Answer 3

The longer answer is, Don't use datenum and datestr at all if you can avoid it. Use datetime, no conversion back and forth between number and text necessary.
