Hi, I have following kind of dataset (all are dates) in my Excel sheet. 09/08/08 09/05/08 09/04/08 09/02/08 09/01/08 29/08/2008 28/08/2008 27/08/2008 26/08/2008 25/08/2008 22/08/2008 21/08/2008 20/08/2008 18/08/2008 14/08/2008 13/08/2008 08/12/08 08/11/08 08/08/08 08/07/08 However I want to use R to compile those data to make all dates in same format. Can anyone please tell me any automated way for doing that?
