I have a column in a dataset right now formatted for example as "Aug-19" which represents 08/01/2019 in mm/dd/yyyy format. How do I convert this into a format that can be read by R?
You can use lubridate
package.
dates <- c("Aug-19", "Sep-19")
dates_myd <- paste0(dates, "-01")
lubridate::myd(dates_myd)
With lubridate
we can also do
myd(dates, truncated = 1)
#[1] "2019-08-01" "2019-09-01"
dates <- c("Aug-19", "Sep-19")
