Thanks. But when I apply your codes I get all NA instead of TRUE and FALSE

Subject: RE: Comparing 2 dale columns
Hi
your code is wrong.
I get
> test<-read.table("clipboard", header=T)
> str(test)
'data.frame': 2 obs. of 2 variables:
$ COL1: Factor w/ 2 levels "6/1/14","7/1/14": 1 2
$ COL2: Factor w/ 1 level "5/1/15": 1 1
> test$COL2<- as.Date(as.character(test$COL2, format="%y/%m/%d"))
> test$COL1<- as.Date(as.character(test$COL1, format="%y/%m/%d"))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
incorrect parentheses position, wrong y,m,d
Using correct syntax I get correct result.
> test$COL2<- as.Date(test$COL2, format="%d/%m/%y")
> test$COL1<- as.Date(test$COL1, format="%d/%m/%y")
>
> test$COL2 > test$COL1
[1] TRUE TRUE
> test
COL1 COL2
1 2014-01-06 2015-01-05
2 2014-01-07 2015-01-05
