Dear R- Exerts, Seek your help. Suppose I have a variable "X" that stores a date: "2008-12-15 CET" Now, I want to subtract 2 days (better two working days) from value stored in "X". Please let me know how to do so. Another variable "Y" stores timestamp as: 2008-11-28 00:09:00 I want to subtract 2 days from "Y". How to perfrm this subtraction? Thank you in advance.
