Hi Antony,
Except if you have good reasons to use R2.15, it is generally a good

Hi,
Here i am having a .xlsx file and it contains various columns including
date-column[mm/dd/yy]-but it is not in the date format. I have to read this
excel[.xlsx] file and need to get in dataframe. So i used xlsx-liabrary
and it was fine to read data. But the problem is, values in the date

Dates to be read.
HTH,
Ivan

These are serial dates within EXCEL. Here is a way of converting them:
as.Date(c(42460, 42426), origin = '1899-12-30')
