I have a data frame which contains some valuable date information. But for a
few of the dates, the day information missing .
Viz:
> interesting.data$date
[1] "1/22/93" "1/22/93" "1/23/93" "1/00/93" "1/28/93" "1/31/93" "1/12/93"
i.e. for dates where the day info is missing, the "%d" part of the "%m/%d/%yy"
format is simply represented as "00".
When I apply as.Date to the date information, the dates which don't contain
exact day information are converted to "NA".
Viz:
> as.Date(interesting.data$date)
[1] "1993-01-22" "1993-01-22" "1993-01-23" NA "1993-01-28" "1993-01-31"
"1993-01-12"
Is there a way of using the as.Date function when I only have partial dates (eg
missing day information which is represented as "00", as above) such
that the date isn't represented as NA?
Thanks,
Anupa
