Hi, I have a data.frame with the following variable: $ xx :Factor w/ 66 levels "01.02.2006","01.03.2006",..: 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
now I´d like use "as.date" on it - if I comprehend the instructions on http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/library/base/html/format.Date.html it should work like this: as.date(xx, "%d.%m.%Y") - but it doesn´t... the survival Package ist loaded - is there a problem with the german format? Or did I understand something wrong? Much better than tranforming the format from to data would be to import it in the right format. Is there a parameter for read.csv to get it as a date from the beginning? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/as.date---german-date-format-tp14712654p14712654.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
