Dear R Fellows, I Have a dataset( data1) with 2 columns of date showing a class of factor. How to convert them to date? Then compare them, keep the greater date only in a new column. Using as.Date to change the class to Date but the data becomes NA. Much Thanks COL1 COL2 Apr-16 1-Nov-16 May-16 1-Nov-16 Jun-16 1-Nov-16 Jul-16 1-Nov-16 Aug-16 1-Nov-16 Sep-16 1-Nov-16 Oct-16 1-Nov-16

Hi your code is wrong. I get > test<-read.table("clipboard", header=T) > str(test) 'data.frame': 2 obs. of 2 variables: $ COL1: Factor w/ 2 levels "6/1/14","7/1/14": 1 2 $ COL2: Factor w/ 1 level "5/1/15": 1 1 > test$COL2<- as.Date(as.character(test$COL2, format="%y/%m/%d")) > test$COL1<-

Dear R fellows, I created a new column Date_flag to compare the dates of COL1 and COL2 using the code below. But it showed that 5/1/15 is greater than 6/1/2014 and 5/1/2015 greater than 7/1/2014 despite the year is greater. How do I fix that? I did try to format as %y/%m/%d but it does not fix that. data$Date_Flag <- ifelse(data$COL2 > data$COL1, 0,1) COL1 COL2 6/1/14
