Read in strings and make it a date which have one specific format
Then you can use format or the lubridate stamp function to convert the date back to the string format you wish
If you want to keep it a date in another format, you simply cannot. I have a column in excel open in power query that has dates The format is m/d/yy hh:mm;@ This is considered as january 3rd
I want to change it to be march, meaning. I am pulling my hair out on this one I am trying to parse to ymd_hms format using lubridate The date format in the origina.
All the dates were originally dmy your windows regional settings short date format is mdy you will need to convert to a proper date if the value is text, then it will be in dmy format and you can extract the sections and convert to a date if the value is numeric, then it has been converted improperly and you need to reverse the month and day part
I think this is occurring because the mdy() function prefers to match the year with %y (the actual year) over %y (2 digit abbreviation for the year, defaulting to 19xx or 20xx). I am having issues with the following r code
