Hi, Check out ?as.Date which is the key function for what you want. Objects of the class "Date" can be compared using logical operators. Try running the following code. As you didn't provide any data to illustrate your problem I've created some mockup data. data <- data.frame(cbind(date = c("01/Apr/2012", "03/Jul/2012", "12/Jul/2012", "09/Jul/2012"), surv = c(4, 3, 5, 2))) data data$date <- as.Date(data$date, format = "%d/%b/%Y") data$date get.rows <- data$date >= as.Date("2012-07-01") & data$date <= as.Date("2012-07-10") data <- data[get.rows, ] data I hope this is approximately what you want.

Hello, It's not the first time you post questions to R-Help, so 1. Where is the reproducible example? 2. The form you post [part of] your data example forces us to arrange it in order to become R code. Try the following. StartDate <- as.Date("01/Jul/2012", format="%d/%B/%Y") EndDate <- as.Date("10/Jul/2012", format="%d/%B/%Y") set.seed(8356) x <- as.Date("2012-06-01") + cumsum(sample(4, 20, TRUE)) inx <- StartDate < x & x < EndDate x[inx] Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 25-07-2012 08:05, purushothaman escreveu:> I have one month data in a dataframe.. > > I need to filter data based on start date and end date > Ex: Start date :- 01/Jul/2012 and End date :- 10/Jul/2012 > > Please help me to find the solution > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-filter-datetime-from-a-dataframe-tp4637721.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Thanks for your reply.. The solution what you have provided, working fine as per if the dataframe has only the "date" in the "date-column", But, in my scenario, i have "date" and "time" in the "date-column". So could you please help me to filter the "date" and "time" from the dataframe.

Hi, Try this: date1<-c("26/Jun/2012","27/Jun/2012","28/Jun/2012","29/Jun/2012","01/Jul/2012","02/Jul/2012","03/Jul/2012","04/Jul/2012", "15/Jul/2012","20/Jul/2012","05/Jul/2012","06/Jul/2012","07/May/2012","08/Jul/2012","09/Jul/2012") date2<-as.Date(date1,format="%d/%b/%Y") dat2<-data.frame(var1=sample(1:15,15,replace=T),date2) subset(dat2,dat2$date2>"2012-07-01"&dat2$date2<"2012-07-10") ?? var1????? date2 6???? 3 2012-07-02 7??? 10 2012-07-03 8??? 14 2012-07-04 11?? 10 2012-07-05 12?? 14 2012-07-06 14?? 14 2012-07-08 15?? 11 2012-07-09 A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: purushothaman <purushothaman.b at ge.com> To: r-help at r-project.org Cc: Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 3:05 AM Subject: [R] How to filter datetime from a dataframe I have one month data in a dataframe..
