R Converting Character Object (Year-Month Format) to Date
In this R tutorial you’ll learn how to change character strings to the date class.
Example Data
example_date <- "2025-10" # Create example date example_date # Return example date # "2025-10" |
example_date <- "2025-10" # Create example date example_date # Return example date # "2025-10"
Example: Converting Example Data to Date Object
example_date_updated <- as.Date(paste(example_date,"-01",sep="")) # Converting character string to date example_date_updated # Return updated data # "2025-10-01" |
example_date_updated <- as.Date(paste(example_date,"-01",sep="")) # Converting character string to date example_date_updated # Return updated data # "2025-10-01"
