Hi,
I have a dataframe with many columns, including date and I want to keep
only a few of the columns including date column.
I used the following command:
with(FireDataAppling, cbind(STARTDATE, County, TOTAL, CAUSE)
It works, but the date becomes days from Jan 1, 2001.
FireDataAppling$STARTD
Try
FireDataAppling[,c('STARTDATE','County','TOTAL','CAUSE')]
or perhaps the subset() function.
The way you are doing it is more complex than necessary (internally
complex, I mean, not how the code looks).
