Re: [R] date conversion problem
Hi Abdoulaye, It looks to me as though your offsets are in hours, not days. You can get a rough date like this: time<-c(1569072,1569096,1569120,1569144, 1569168,1569192,1569216,1569240) time_d<-as.Date("1800-01-01")+time/24 time_d [1] "1979-01-01" "1979-01-02" "1979-01-03" "1979-01-04" "1979-01-05" [6] "1979-01-06" "1979-01-07" "1979-01-08" Jim On Thu, Aug 13, 2020 at 6:10 PM Abdoulaye Sarr wrote: > > I have dataset with time sine 1800-01-01 and extracted data from 1981 to > 2019 and used these lines for the data conversion: > > time_d <- as.Date(time, format="%j", origin=as.Date("1800-01-01")) > > time_years <- format(time_d, "%Y") > > time_months <- format(time_d, "%m") > > time_year_months <- format(time_d, "%Y-%m") > > head(time_d) > [1] "6095-12-22" "6096-01-15" "6096-02-08" "6096-03-03" "6096-03-27" > "6096-04-20" > > As you see these gregorian dates are unrealistic and wonder what I am doing > wrong? > The time from the raw file in Jd are like this: > > > time >[1] 1569072 1569096 1569120 1569144 1569168 1569192 1569216 1569240etc. > > Hope hint and/or suggestion to solve this. > > Best regards > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > __ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
[R] date conversion problem
I have dataset with time sine 1800-01-01 and extracted data from 1981 to 2019 and used these lines for the data conversion: > time_d <- as.Date(time, format="%j", origin=as.Date("1800-01-01")) > time_years <- format(time_d, "%Y") > time_months <- format(time_d, "%m") > time_year_months <- format(time_d, "%Y-%m") > head(time_d) [1] "6095-12-22" "6096-01-15" "6096-02-08" "6096-03-03" "6096-03-27" "6096-04-20" As you see these gregorian dates are unrealistic and wonder what I am doing wrong? The time from the raw file in Jd are like this: > time [1] 1569072 1569096 1569120 1569144 1569168 1569192 1569216 1569240etc. Hope hint and/or suggestion to solve this.

[R] Date Conversion Problem
i have written an R script which allow me to plot the number of Covid-10 cases reported by he state of Ohio. In that se t of data the date format is in the form -mm-dd. My script uses: datebreaks <- seq(as.Date("2020-01-01"), as.Date("2020-08-10"), by="1 week") . . . + scale_x_date(breaks=datebreaks) + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=30, hjust=1)) to plot the data. The COVID Tracking Project publishes considerably more data than does the state of Ohio. However, The project supplies daily statistics using the date format MMDD.I have done some searching, but I can't seem to find a solution (that I can understand). How can I change the date forma from MMDD tp -MM-DD? Thanks is advanced. -- Stephen P.

[R] date conversion
Hello, I have a dataframe with data such as: dat$BEGINDATUM[3] [1] 13-09-2007 dat$BEGINDATUM[4] [1] 01-11-2007 class(dat$BEGINDATUM[3]) [1] factor Now I need to make calculation with these dates. But I get these result: as.date(as.character(dat$BEGINDATUM[3])) [1] NA as.date(as.character(dat$BEGINDATUM[4])) [1] 11Jan2007 How can i convert these factors to make calculations possible.

Re: [R] date conversion
Hi, I think you just need to add the format = argument.

I realise that i can get around this by doing as.Date(as.character(x)), but would be nice to understand why it doesn't work directly.

Re: [R] date conversion not as i would have expected
Hi This is on WinXP with regional settings as EST (we are now on DST but I run EST) R2.9.2 x - structure(1254351600, class = c(POSIXt, POSIXct), tzone = ) x [1] 2009-10-01 09:00:00 EST as.POSIXlt(x) [1] 2009-10-01 09:00:00 EST as.Date(x, formate=%Y-%m-%d ) [1] 2009-09-30 I had a similar problem last week. I am not sure how Bill Gates does his times but for R see Rnews 4(1). There are slight differences between POSIX and Date classes NB If you run EST in DST periods Bill Gates still gives the file stamp as DST in Vista and XP.

[R] Date conversion
Hi List, If I have a date format as: d - 2001/1/1 I can easily convert it to number by using as.Date(d). But if I have d-1/1/2001, it does not work. Does anyone know how I can convert it using pre-written function in R?

If it means January the 1st and not 1st of January, that is... But if I have d-1/1/2001, it does not work. Does anyone know how I can convert it using pre-written function in R? as.Date has a format= argument. See the Examples section in help(as.Date).
