strptime, date and conversion of week number into POSIX
That monday does not exist. FOr the week before:
strptime(paste0("2020-52","-1"),format="%Y-%W-%u")
[1] "2020-12-28"
One week later is no longer in 2020, so there is no 53th week.
Best,
Uwe Ligges

Sorry to answer to myself, but the format was clearly incorrect in the previous post. It should read, refering to the 1th day of the week: strptime(paste0(mydate,"-1"),format="%Y-%W-%u") It converts better, but with a NA on week 53
strptime(paste0(pays$year_week,"-1"),format="%Y-%W-%u")

Warning message:
In strptime(paste0(pays$year_week, "-1"), format = "%Y-%W-%u") :

Any idea on how to handle this ?

Dear all,
I have a trouble trying to convert dates? given in character to POSIX.
The date is expressed as a year then the week number e.g. "2020-01"
(first week of 2020). I thought is can be converted as following:
strptime(mydate,format="%Y-%W")
%W refering to the week of the year as decimal number (00?53) using
Monday as the first day of week (and typically with the first Monday
of the year as day 1 of week 1), as indicated in the doc.
However, I got this result, with the month fixed to 02 (february) and
day 22 (only the year is? converted correctly):

You'll find below a dump of "mydate" you can copy and paster if you
need a try
Any hint welcome...
Best,
