Date

Hi,
Try this:
Year<-c("01/2000","02/2000","03/2000")

#If you want to convert it directly to month/year
library(zoo)
as.yearmon(Year,format="%m/%Y")
[1] "Jan 2000" "Feb 2000" "Mar 2000"


#As your intention is to have DD/MM/YYYY format,
?Year1<-paste("01/",Year,sep="")
Year1
[1] "01/01/2000" "01/02/2000" "01/03/2000"

?Year<-as.Date(Year1, format="%m/%d/%Y")

?Year
[1] "2000-01-01" "2000-01-02" "2000-01-03"


dat1<-data.frame(Year1,Stock_Prices=1:3)

dat1

?????? Year1 Stock_Prices
1 01/01/2000??????????? 1
2 01/02/2000??????????? 2
3 01/03/2000??????????? 3


dat2<-data.frame(Year,Stock_Prices=1:3)

Hi
I have monthly data and the dates are in MM/YY Format
I need to convert them into DD/MM/YY format by pasting 01 in place of DD to
all the observations in my Year Column

ex:

Year? ? ? ? ? ? Stock Prices
01/2000? ? ? ? ?  1
02/2000? ? ? ? ?  2
03/2000? ? ? ? ?  3


I need to convert them to

Year? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Stock Prices
01/01/2000? ? ? ? ? ? ? 1
01/02/2000? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2
01/03/2000? ? ? ? ? ? ? 3
