How to insert date and time data into a matrix?

I have a big csv file which I imported it in matlab. The columns have the variables: name surname address date time . I want to insert them in a matrix. I tried to run this: A=[ name surname address date time ] but I couldn't. In the command window it is written the following:" Error using datetime/horzcat (line 1217) All inputs must be datetimes or date/time strings." What shall I do?

This is what tables (or in your case, probably, timetables) are for: mixed-type data. In recent versions of MATLAB, you should be able to use readtable and get what you want in one line.
