Hello everyone, I am trying to built an xts object and i have run into some problems on the data handling. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with the following: 1) I have a OHLC dataset with Time and date in different columns. How could i combine date and time in one column in order to pass on the new column to xts? I have use cbind and data.frame before but i did not manage to yield any good results as the formating of the file changes. Date Time O H L C 1/2/2005 17:05 1.3546 1.3553 1.3546 1.35495 1/2/2005 17:10 1.3553 1.3556 1.3549 1.35525 1/2/2005 17:15 1.3556 1.35565 1.35515 1.3553 1/2/2005 17:25 1.355 1.3556 1.355 1.3555 1/2/2005 17:30 1.3556 1.3564 1.35535 1.3563
dat$DateTime <- strptime(paste(dat$Date, dat$Time), "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M") Uwe Ligges
2) It is not clear to me what is the best way to construct the .xts object? Should i use only the Date&time to index or should i also combine it with the rest of the variables? Thanks in advance, N
