Help with Converting Excel Times to R
I've usually had good luck with this, but something is not working well. I have two datetimes in excel 7/20/21 13:30 7/20/21 13:40 And when I convert these to excel's normal storage schema, I get the following: 42935.5625 42935.56944 Just try to convert this to a POSIX class gives me issues.
dt <- c(42935.5625,42935.5694444444)
as.POSIXct(dt,origin="1899-12-30 00:00:00",tz="GMT")
[1] "1899-12-30 11:55:36 GMT" "1899-12-30 11:55:36 GMT" As you can see, there is a world of difference here. I've tried any number of solutions such as lubridate, etc and I get the same result
as_datetime(dt,origin="1899-12-30 00:00:00")
[1] "1899-12-30 11:55:36 UTC" "1899-12-30 11:55:36 UTC" Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? Shawn Way
