Is there easy way to convert numeric to date?
For example:
If I have,
a = as.Date("2010-03-04")
And, if run
as.numeric(a)
[1] 14672
Is there any function that I can use to convert 14672 back to the date.
You can use as.Date(). In base R, you additionally need to specify
origin = "1970-01-01"
because that is what is used in R. If you load the package "zoo" then the
default is set automatically:
R> a <- as.Date("2010-03-04")
R> a
[1] "2010-03-04"
R> b <- as.numeric(a)
R> b
[1] 14672
R> as.Date(b)
Error in as.Date.numeric(b) : 'origin' must be supplied
R> as.Date(b, origin = "1970-01-01")
[1] "2010-03-04"
R> library("zoo")
R> as.Date(b)
[1] "2010-03-04"
