Dear R-Users, Have a question about reading in some data and manipulating dates. I have a data set in excel which looks like this:
Date PEG ETN HSP PTC 13/10/2004 41.92 64.75 29.86 9.27 14/10/2004 41.93 61.79 29.98 9.14 15/10/2004 41.69 62.7 30.09 9.04 18/10/2004 41.37 62.14 30.39 8.96 19/10/2004 41.01 61.98 29.61 9.02 20/10/2004 41.01 61.98 30.25 9 I have used read.table by saving the sheety above in tab format to read this in but am having some difficulties: - the dates above do not seem to be getting read in in date format: how can I force this ? - I actually have two, and not one data set, and would like to synchronise them by date (exclude from both dates which are not in both): is there an easy way to do this ? Thanks, Tolga ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
