Apologies for a question on something which is probably very straightforward. I am very new to R. I have a dataframe which contains dates in a year,month,day format e.g. "2020-05-28". I wanted to stratify the data at month level, so I used the "floor_date" function. However, now the dates read as "2020-05-01" etc. This is absolutely fine for the data set itself, but I am creating epidemiological curves and want to change the dates to "2020-05" etc. on the legend. Could anyone provide some guidance on how to do this? I can't simply replace the pattern "01" with a blank as I need to keep 01 on month level (January) visible.
