Hi, guys I don't understand why I can apply as.Date to a single item in the list: > as.Date(alldays[4]) [1] "29-03-20"
but when I try to lapply as.Date to all the items, i got a sequence of neg numbers: > sapply(alldays[1:4], FUN=as.Date) 03-04-2012 02-04-2012 30-03-2012 29-03-2012 -718323 -718688 -708492 -708857 does anyone know what's wrong here? i am very confused! Thanks a lot for your time in such a freezing weekend!
