Problems Structuring My Data

I won't attempt to answer your post here, but:

#I don?t know why R is showing the dates as numbers

Please read the Help files!
You say FAILDATE has "type" = S3 class, "Date".
The first thing ?Dates tells you in the "Details" is:

"Dates are represented as the number of days since 1970-01-01, with
negative values for earlier dates. They are always printed following
the rules of the current Gregorian calendar, even though that calendar
was not in use long ago (it was adopted in 1752 in Great Britain and
its colonies)."

That answers your question without ever needing to post here.

Cheers,
Bert
