Hi all. I'm suddenly having problems with the following: > FUT10Y<-read.table("C:\\FUT10YR.csv",header=TRUE,sep=",") > head(FUT10Y) Date PX_OPEN PX_HIGH PX_LOW PX_LAST 1 1/5/1999 119.0000 119.1875 118.5312 118.6250 2 1/6/1999 118.5938 118.8750 118.2812 118.8438 3 1/7/1999 118.9062 119.0312 118.3750 118.5000 4 1/8/1999 118.4688 118.5625 117.5312 117.8125 5 1/11/1999 117.6562 117.7812 117.1250 117.5625 6 1/12/1999 117.5312 118.2188 117.2500 117.9688 > FUT10Y<-as.timeSeries(FUT10Y) Error in midnightStandard2(charvec, format) : 'charvec' has non-NA entries of different number of characters
I thought timeSeries auto-detected the dates and formatted appropriately. Should I set the format explicitly? I've checked the raw data file and didn't find an errant characters, although there are some NAs in the non date column.
