Hi,
Internally, once you have a Date class object in R, the "printed" output
displayed will be the default, which I believe is influenced by your locale.
See ?format.Date.
That being said, in your example data below, 07022020, could be either July 2,
2020, or February 7, 2020. How do you know
Perhaps
d$date <- as.Date(d$date, format = ifelse("K"==d$observer, "%d%m%Y", "%m%d%Y"
))

Hi,
If the date format is determined by observer, you could for instance
use subset to divide it into two data frames, fix the dates and
recombine, or use ifelse to use the correct format based on observer.
This is a basic data manipulation task, and there are lots of ways
approach it.

Hi,
I have a big database where one-third of the data is in a different date
format than the rest. I'll add an example table to show you.
| plot | observer | date|
| 1 | K | 31012020 |
| 2 | K |
