I have this date format: 2016-04-14 and I want to change it to 14/4/16 This seems like a simple task but for some reason my strategy is not working. Here is my code: '''' df$Date <- as.Date(df$Date,format = "%d/%m/%y") ''''

1You may need to change to character first, and then to date: `as.Date(as.character(df$Date), format = "%d/%m/%y")` – Marc in the box Apr 16 '20 at 03:48

If you want date in specific format use format :
format(as.Date(df$Date), "%d/%m/%y")
