How to Get the Month of a Date Object in R (Example Code)
In this R programming tutorial you’ll learn how to return only the months of a date vector.
Creation of Example Data
my_date <- as.Date(c("2021-09-07", # Example dates in R "2016-10-25", "2020-03-08")) my_date # Returning dates vector to console # [1] "2021-09-07" "2016-10-25" "2020-03-08" |
my_date <- as.Date(c("2021-09-07", # Example dates in R "2016-10-25", "2020-03-08")) my_date # Returning dates vector to console # [1] "2021-09-07" "2016-10-25" "2020-03-08"
Example: Applying format Function to Get Only Months of Date Objects
format(my_date, "%m") # Extracting months of dates # [1] "09" "10" "03" |
format(my_date, "%m") # Extracting months of dates # [1] "09" "10" "03"
