In my data, a vector consists of strings like below:
> my_data$month
[1] "01 2000" "02 2000" "03 2000"
That is, the vector contains "mm yyyy" format strings.
To convert the character vector to a date vector, I tried to use the as.Date
function:
tmp <- as.Date(my_data$month, format = "%m %Y")
But, this just returns a vector of NA
s.
How can I solve this problem?
