Converting the data in year month day hour and minutes to date in R -

i trying convert date factor date using “as.date” function in r. have date in next format

i tried utilize next command :

as.date(mydata$date, format="%y-%m-%d %h:%mm")

can help me ? able convert format no hr getting difficulty hr included.

thank you.

your format string wrong :

r> strptime("2008-01-01 02:30", format="%y-%m-%d %h:%m") # [1] "2008-01-01 02:30:00"

see ?strptime detailed values can utilize define format.

also note string in standard format, can utilize straight as.posixlt :

r> as.posixlt("2008-01-01 02:30") # [1] "2008-01-01 02:30:00"

r
