Hi, I have some problems with as.Date function. After I applied as.Date for my data, "2010" changed to "2020" as below Where am I wrong?
You used %y (two-digit year, here: "20" and then expanded to "2020") instead of %Y (four-digit year, here "2010"). Using as.Date(x,"%m/%d/%Y") yields the desired result. Z
Thanks Wonjae
x=c("11/16/2010","11/17/2010","11/18/2010","11/19/2010")
x=as.Date(x,"%m/%d/%y")
