Hi, how it's possible to extract the year and the number of days from Julian date. i'm little confused about the last two functions and ?years . EDATE comes from sqlQuery with as.is=T EDATE <- as.POSIXlt(datvears$ENROLLDAY) Many thanks, Christian > EDATE[1:5] [1] "2000-06-30 11:25:01" "2000-06-30 11:39:55" "2000-06-30 12:11:11" [4]

I''m using Rails - 2.2.2 gcal4ruby (0.2.6) I''m using google calendar to display events for users in my website. Till 18-march-2012 everything was working fine. But now whenever user add events to the calendar it show only busy in the calendar. My code is def add_event user_id = current_user.id service = GCal4Ruby::Service.new

Hi all, probably really simple: I seem to be lacking some understanding for the character class: I have a bunch of dates in a dataframe and I want to add a string variable with the weekday for each date. If I use something like mydata$day <- weekdays (mydata$date), I can create subsets for each weekday (eg mydata=="Monday"), but summary (mydata$day) doesn't count the instances for

Dear R-users, How do I obtain a sequence of dates consisting of only weekdays without the weekends in R? In S, I can do the following: timeSeq(from="12/17/2007", to="8/25/2008", by="weekdays") I tried using looking at timeSequence (fSeries package) and seq.Date (base package) but I do not know if I can specify "weekdays" rather than "day".

Hello, This doesn't answer the question, but in portuguese it works as expected. > x <- as.Date("2017-06-05") > months(x) [1] "junho" > weekdays(x) [1] "segunda-feira" > sessionInfo() R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1 Matrix products: default

Hi, I want to reporte some strange behaviour with the "months" function, from base R. When using "months" to extract months from a date column, I'm getting the months in english, when I was expecting months in spanish. When using "weekdays" to extract days of week from a date column, I'm getting the the days in spanish (as expected). My understanding is

For what it's worth, I tried setting my Region | Formats setting to Spanish (Peru) in Windows 10 Control Panel, and got Spanish weekday and month results. I believe on Windows we use the Microsoft C strftime function to produce these strings, with the %A (for weekday) or %B (for month) formats. So this question probably needs to be addressed to Microsoft. Duncan Murdoch On 05/06/2017

Have you noticed any problems with big dates (>=1/1/2040) in R? Here is the bit of code that I'm having trouble with: > test.date <- strptime("1/1/2040",format="%m/%d/%Y") > > unlist(test.date) sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0 0 0 1 0 140 0 0 0 > > date.plus.one <- as.POSIXct(test.date) +

Thank you Duncan and Rui for your time and interest in this issue. Maybe it is a problem with Windows 7 and Spanish, and not Windows 10. Let's wait for someone with the same enviroment, before assuming it's a problem with my PC/configuration. 2017-06-05 14:37 GMT-05:00 Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com>: > For what it's worth, I tried setting my Region

Dear all, can anyone please tell me how to generate a sequence of days continuously, however without considering weekends i.e. Saturday and Sunday? I am aware of following code: > seq(as.Date("2010-01-01"), as.Date("2010-02-01"), by="1 day")  [1] "2010-01-01" "2010-01-02" "2010-01-03" "2010-01-04" "2010-01-05"

Hi Folks! I'm struggling with dates - but enough about my personal life..... I have two daily time series files. In one (x) the date format is Y/m/d and the other (y) is d/m/y. I used read.zoo on both and they read into R with no problem. Then I use: weekdays(as.Date(x$DATE)) and get what I expect - all the days of the week in my data set. When I use:

Hi, I am trying to count weekday of the month using R. For example, 1/4/2001 is the 4th weekday of Jan, and 1/5/2001 is the 5th weekday of the month, and 1/8/2001 is the 6th weekday of the month, etc. I get as far as extracting the weekdays from a sequence of dates (see below). But I have not yet figured out a fast way of counting without using a For Loop. Does anyone know how to do such counting

Dear R Helpers, I am having difficulty with strptime. I wish to find the differences between two vectors of times. I have apparently no difficulty to convert the vectors to the appropriate format using strptime. But, then difftime does not calculate all the differences. Here is the code and output:- dob=strptime(as.character(datx$BDT),'%d-%b-%y'); dob$year=dob$year-100

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me to the excel look alike "Edate" and "eomonth" functions in R. I have found the "timeLastDayInMonth" and "timeFirstDayInMonth" in the "timeDate" package. However, I am looking for a bit more flexibility. I would like to be able to obtain dates and EOM dates "n" months prior/forward to the

Hi, all Here I created a data frame like mydates<- seq(as.Date("2010-05-29"), length = 43, by = "day") myvalues<-runif(43,0,1) myframe<-data.frame(dates=mydates, day=weekdays(dates), value=myvalues) dates day value 1 2010-05-29 Saturday 0.14576143 2 2010-05-30 Sunday 0.37669604 3 2010-05-31 Monday 0.74813943 4 2010-06-01 Tuesday

Hi list, I'm trying to turn a date into something productive. (Not what you may be thinking....) I want three functions so I could take a "date" object and get the day of week, month, and year from it. xx <- as.Date("2006-01-05") month(xx) equal 1 day(xx) equal 5 year(xx) equal 2006 I'm aware of the weekdays() and months() functions in the base package. But

Can someone help me with this simple example? sq <- function() { y <- x^2 y } myfunc <- function() { x <- 10 sq() } myfunc() executing the above in R yields: > myfunc() Error in sq() : Object "x" not found I understand that R's scoping rules cause it to look for "x" in the environment in which "sq" was defined (the global environment in
