r-Help Community Never mine figured it out just use the "as.POSIXct" function Jeff I need to convert a date-time field (column) but I'm losing the time when I convert using .. tsData <- myData[,10, drop=FALSE] tsData$date_time <- as.Date(tsData$date_time, format="%m/%d/%y %H:%M") head(tsData) date_time <date> 1 2013-06-20 2 2013-06-20 3 2013-06-20 4 2013-06-20 5 2013-05-30 6 2013-06-20 R is doing what I'm asing it to do so I'm obviously using the wrong command. How do I convert, retaining the time Sincerely Jeffery (Jeff) Reichman [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
