R-Help Trying to convert a Gregorian calendar dataset to a Persian calendar dataset. But I end up with a list and not sure what to do. For example ... dates <- c("2017-10-1","2017-10-2","2017-10-3") myData <- data.frame(dates) myData$dates <- as.Date(myData$dates, format = "%Y-%m-%d") > myData dates 1 2017-10-01 2 2017-10-02 3

How about > p_dates <- paste0(p.dates[[3]], "-", p.dates[[2]], "-", p.dates[[1]]) > myData$p_dates <- p_dates > print(myData, right=FALSE) dates p_dates 1 2017-10-01 1396-7-9 2 2017-10-02 1396-7-10 3 2017-10-03 1396-7-11 > str(myData) 'data.frame': 3 obs. of 2 variables: $ dates : Date, format: "2017-10-01"
