Hi all,
I have a data from 1 to 8760 representing the hours of the year. I want to select for instance 11 to 17 and repeat it every 24 hours (selecting the same range in the next day, the value will be added by 24 so that it jumps to 11 o'clock in the second day and so on). How should I do that?
Thanks

Actually, this is super easy using a timetable:
>> hourly = timetable(datetime(2021,1,1,0:8759,0,0)',rand(8760,1));
>> t = datetime(2021,1,1:365) + hours(11:17)'; % implicit expansion: row + column
>> hourly_11_17 = hourly(t,:);
>> head(hourly_11_17)
ans =
8×1 timetable
Time Var1

data_day = reshape(YourData, 24, [], size(YourData,2));
data_day(11:17, :, :)
You could reshape() that to [], size(data_day,3) if you want to push the chunks back together again, but I suspect having it by hour will be more useful.
Or
idx = (11:17).' + (0:24:size(YourData,1)-1);
selected_data = YourData(idx,:)
