Use: as.Date

Hi Is this the output from Excel? If so format it in Excel for a date format not a date-time format . Depending how the dates were inputted into Excel and the Excel setup a date may not be a date format. There are no rules with microsoft formatting so beware!

When I read in data using my code, the first column ranges from 0 to 1. So when I use the code you wrote, it shows the error message: Error in as.POSIXct.numeric(DF$Date, format = "%m/%d/%Y-%H:%M:%S") : 'origin' must be supplied On Fri, Dec 30, 2016 at 11:23 AM, Rui Barradas <ruipbarradas at sapo.pt> wrote:
Hello, Have you tried df$date <- as.POSIXct(dat$date, format = "%m/%d/%Y-%H:%M:%S") ? Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 30-12-2016 17:40, lily li escreveu:
Hi R users, I'm trying to read in data, and then plot time series data. However, I have some problems. In my dataset, the first column represents time, and in
the
format:
mm/dd/yyyy-hr:min:sec; For example, 10/01/1995-00:00:00,
10/01/1995-06:00:00, etc.
df:
date evap precip intercept
10/01/1995-00:00:00 1.5 2 0.2
10/01/1995-12:00:00 1.7 2.2 0.1
10/02/1995-00:00:00 1.5 1.8 0.3
...
My code is like this
file1 = read.table('df', head=T)
When I read in data, I found that it read incorrectly. How to format
when
read in data? Thanks.
