Dear R users, I have a table with say three columns and 70 rows. The second column has dates in format dd.mm.yy (i.e. 01.10.07 indicating record for October 1, 2007). I read the text file, containing the records. Now, I want to find out the weekday for each date. However, I cannot do so.
1) If I type result[1,"Date"] to see the Date in the first row, I get following output: 70 Levels: 01.10.07 01.11.07 02.10.07 02.12.07.. and so on. 2) If I use any functions related to Date or time, I get the message: character string is not in a standard unambigious format. :-( I can understand that first I have to "convert" the existing date format to such a format that R "recognizes" as date format. However, I am not able to do so. I did try to use format.Date() and as.Date() functions. However, no success. I am making some silly mistake. Please help. Thank you.
