I've read the help for as.Date: "Date Conversion Functions to and from Character" but the method as.character(x ...) isn't working for me:
str(dp)
'data.frame': 113569 obs. of 2 variables: $ rainfall.sampdate: Date, format: "2005-01-01" "2005-01-02" ... $ rainfall.prcp : num 0.59 0.08 0.1 0 0 0.02 0.05 0.1 0 0.02 ...
dp$sampdate <- as.Character(dp$sampdate)
Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, sampdata, value = character(0)) : replacement has 0 rows, data has 113569 I don't understand the error message and want to learn what I've done incorrectly.
