I have to convert from string (cell) to serial number but it's slow..is there a faster method?
formatin='dd/mmm/yyyy';
for i = 1:length(TabStrum_Nome)
dataa(:,i)=datenum(A.textdata,formatin);
end
>> class(A.textdata)
ans =
'cell'

Yes, that is the wrong date.... it is also the wrong data type: why are you using deprecated serial date numbers?
The DATENUM documentation states at the top:
C = compose('%02d/01/2008',(1:10).')
N = datenum(C,'dd/mm/yyyy')
checking:
datestr(N)

"if i want to use only date (not date and time) you always advise me to use the 'format' datetime ?"
That depends entirely on what you mean by "use", which you have not explained.
Changing the DATETIME format changes how it displays/converts to text, but does not change the value of the DATETIME object itself. So if you want e.g. to compare DATETIME values or group them, it doesn't have any effect.
