Recipe Objective

How to interchange date formats in R?

as. Date () is used for specifying a date format in R. It can specify different formats like: %Y — year (with century), %y — year (without century) %m — month %B — full-month name, %b — abbreviated month name %d — day of the month %A — full-weekday name, %a — abbreviated weekday name %w — weekday in decimal form This recipe demonstrates different formats to write dates.

Step 1 - Interchange date formats

Syntax - as.Date(date,format) date - input date format - required date format

dt1 <- as.Date("15/10/98", format="%d/%m/%y") dt1

 "Output of code :"
1998-10-15

dt2 = c("2020-08-18") dt2 = as.Date(dt2) dt2 = format(dt2,"%Y-%b-%d") dt2

 "Output of code :"
'2020-Aug-18'

dt3 <- as.Date("2020-04-23") format(dt3, "%Y %b %a %d")

 "Output of code :"
'2020 Apr Thu 23'

{"mode":"full","isActive":false}
