    Passing calendar dates from Spotfire tables into Matlab data-structures via a Data Function without having to recalculate the dates

    Currently calendar dates in Spotfire tabular data are received through a Data Function into Matlab as dates counted from 1/1/1960 rather than from the standard calendar starting point. This requires performing in the Matlab Data Function a convers...
