HI all,
My
I am trying to convert character date (mm/dd/yy) to YYYY-mm-dd date
format in one of the columns of my data file.
The first few lines of the data file looks like as follow
head(Atest,10);dim(Atest)
ddate
1 19/08/21
2 30/04/18
3 28/08/21
4 11/10/21
5 07/09/21
6 15/08/21
7 03/09/21
8 23/07/18
9 17/08/20
10 23/09/20
[1] 1270076 1
I am using the following different scenarios but none of them resulted
the desired result.
library(data.table)
library(stringr)
library(lubridate)
Atest$ddate1 <- as.Date((Atest$ddate), format = "%m/%d/%y")
Atest$ddate2 <- mdy((Atest$ddate))
Atest$ddate3 <= as.Date(as.character(Atest$ddate),format="%m/%d/%y")
Atest$ddate4 <- as.Date(as.character(Atest$ddate),"%m/%d/%y")
Atest$ddate5 <- lubridate::mdy(Atest$ddate)
> head(Atest,3)
ddate ddate1 ddate2 ddate4 ddate5
1 19/08/21 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
2 30/04/18 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
3 28/08/21 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
Any help why I am not getting the desired result.
Thank you,
