Subtract / Add Days from / to Date Object in R (2 Examples)
In this tutorial, I’ll explain how to add or subtract a certain number of days from a date object in R programming.
Example Data
x <- as.Date("2023-01-27") # Exemplifying Date object x # Show example date in RStudio console # [1] "2023-01-27" |
x <- as.Date("2023-01-27") # Exemplifying Date object x # Show example date in RStudio console # [1] "2023-01-27"
Example 1: Subtracting Value from Date in R
x - 50 # Subtract 50 days from date object # [1] "2022-12-08" |
x - 50 # Subtract 50 days from date object # [1] "2022-12-08"
Example 2: Adding Value to Date in R
x + 50 # Add 50 days to date object # [1] "2023-03-18" |
x + 50 # Add 50 days to date object # [1] "2023-03-18"
