I am trying to convert the date as factor to date using “as.date” function in R. I have the date in the following format
2008-01-01 02:30
I tried to use the following command :
as.Date(mydata$Date, format="%y-%m-%d %h:%mm")
Can somebody help me with this ? I was able to convert the format with no hour but getting difficulty with hour included.
Thank you.
Your format string is incorrect :
R> strptime("2008-01-01 02:30", format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
# [1] "2008-01-01 02:30:00"
See ?strptime
for the detailed values you can use to define a format.
Also note that as your string is in a standard format, you can also use directly as.POSIXlt
:
R> as.POSIXlt("2008-01-01 02:30")
# [1] "2008-01-01 02:30:00"
