Hi All! I'm trying to convert serial numbers in Excel to dates in R. For each single "thedate" entry, I get a correct answer. But if I try using the for loop, I get bizarre numbers in "mynewdata".
thedate<-as.matrix(40548:40759,ncol=1) exdate<-function(){ mynewdate<-NULL for(i in 1:nrow(thedate)){ mynewdate[i]<-as.Date(thedate[i,1],origin="1899-12-30") } print(mynewdate) } exdate() Thank you very much!
