Hi, You may need to add "dec=","" in the read.csv. dat1<- read.table(text=" Time;Mid 31/01/2013 00:00;1,35679 31/01/2013 00:01;1,35678 31/01/2013 00:02;1,356785 31/01/2013 00:03;1,35689 31/01/2013 00:04;1,3569 31/01/2013 00:05;1,3569 31/01/2013 00:06;1,356885 31/01/2013 00:07;1,35691 31/01/2013 00:08;1,357 ",sep=";",dec=",",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
f1 <- function(...) as.POSIXct(paste(...), format = "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M")
library(zoo)
b <- read.zoo(dat1, index = 1, FUN = f1)
library(xts)
dat2<- xts(b)
dat2

Thank you a lot!
