Hi R,
The dates when exported from Excel to R by "Put R Var", gives one less day. For example, 1. Let 1/1/2011 be the cell A1 in date format. 2. Right click and select "Put R Var" and give a name to it say, "StartDate" (R in foreground process) 3. In the R console see the value stored in "StartDate" 4. The output is: > StartDate [1] "2010-12-31 23:30:00 IST" Please note that this output is 30 minutes less than the actual date. Why is this?
