Add beginning-end ISO Week of ISO Year label

Question

Consider the following:

df <- structure(list(date = structure(c(17542, 17543, 17544, 17545, 
                                        17546, 17547, 17548, 17549, 17550, 17551, 17552, 17553, 17554, 
                                        17555, 17556, 17557, 17558, 17559, 17560, 17561, 17562, 17563, 
                                        17564, 17565, 17566, 17567, 17568, 17569), class = "Date"), 
                     col1 = c(432L, 337L, 188L, 438L, 243L, 391L, 286L, 374L, 470L, 5L, 348L, 359L,

                              445L, 48L, 275L, 11L), 
                     col2 = c(282L, 483L, 195L, 140L, 458L, 433L, 435L, 218L, 49L, 169L, 298L, 269L,

                     week = c(2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 
                              4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6)), 
                .Names = c("date", "col1", "col2", "week"))
df <- as.data.frame(df)

I would like a column which spits out a string consisting of the ISO Week of the ISO Year. For example, when week is 2 , it should spit out Jan 8, 2018 to Jan 14, 2018 .

How does one do this? I would particularly appreciate a solution using lubridate , but am open to using other packages if needed.

Answer 1

Since you want to use lubridate , the following will give you a start:

library(lubridate)

df %>% mutate(week_start = floor_date(date, "week"), 
              week_end = ceiling_date(date, "week"))

I leave the problem of formatting and concatenating those boundary dates into the strings you want as a useful learning exercise for lubridate .
