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.
