Hello,
I was hoping for advice regarding resolving the above error.
I have a csv file that contains the following variable:
$ Order.Made.Date : Factor w/ 299 levels
"1-Apr-08","1-Aug-05",..: 278 285 91 286 159 132 108 261 282 147 ...
I want to calculate a variable named F.length, which is today's date
minus the values contained in the variable: April$Order.Made.Date)
I tried altering the date format but continued to receive the same error.
> F.length <- difftime ("11/04/2008", April$Order.Made.Date)
> Error in fromchar(as.character(x)) : character string is not in
a standard unambiguous format
> Order.date <- as.Date (April$Order.Made.Date)
> Error in fromchar(x) : character string is not in a standard
unambiguous format
> Order.date <- 'as.POSIXlt' (April$Order.Made.Date)
Error in fromchar(as.character(x)) : character string is not in a
standard unambiguous format
Any suggestions are appreciated,
Bob
