Re: [R] Converting Character date to Dates in r

2022-09-28 Thread Jim Lemon
Hi Admire,
Your attachment didn't get through, although CSV format should. The
code you included seems a very roundabout way to extract a series of
dates as character strings and as there is no assignment of return
values in some lines, is unlikely to work. Perhaps if you send just a
few of the original strings, someone can answer your question.

Hello,

Can you post sample data? Please post the output of

dput(head(inflation.2$period))

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Hello, i hope this email finds you well. Kindly help me to format dates
shown as character to dates using as.Dates.

Attached herewith is my data in excel csv format.

The following is the  r-code i have used in my analysis:


setwd("Z:/2022/September/Inflation forecasts")
inflation<-read.csv("Inflation_forecasts_1.csv")
attach(inflation)
inflation[,1:2 ] #subsetting the dataframe
inflation.df<-inflation[,1:2]
attach(inflation.df)
#Renaming variables
inflation<- rename(inflation.df,
cpi = CPI,
year=period)

#subsetting data April 2020 to current
inflation.2<-data.frame(inflation[-c(1:135),])
Defining variables for use in the analysis
attach(inflation.2)

t <- year
class(inflation.2$cpi)
inflation.2$cpi <- as.numeric(as.character(inflation.2$cpi))
Y <- cpi
sapply(inflation.2, class)

format(as.Date(inflation.2$period), "%Y-%m")



Thank you in advance.

Hello, i hope this email finds you well. Kindly help me to format dates
shown as character to dates using as.Dates.

Attached herewith is my data in excel csv format.

The following is the  r-code i have used in my analysis:

inflation<-read.csv("Inflation_forecasts_1.csv")
attach(inflation)
inflation[,1:2 ] #subsetting the dataframe
inflation.df<-inflation[,1:2]

#Renaming variables
inflation<- rename(inflation.df,

#subsetting data April 2020 to current

Defining variables for use in the analysis
