Convert number to Date
Hello, I have a date value in excel: 1/4/2010 which in number format gives me 40182. When I read this with read.xls from R I get same 40182 so what I do is that I use the as.Date() function but here is what the as.Date() function returns me: > as.Date(40182) [1] "2080-01-06" Why don't I get the same thing as in excel? Thanks! ----- Anna Lippel -- View this message in context:

Troubles on retrieving rownames
Hi guys, I am using the blp() function from RBloomberg package which returns a matrix of prices with the columns corresponding to the security name and the columns to the date.

It worked perfectly until I had to reinstall the RBloomberg

Using lapply with two lists
Hello guys, I have a list L1 of matrix. I have another list L2 with the same number of elements representing the row of the L matrix that I want to delete (L1[[i]][-L2[[i]],]) but I can't do this with lapply as it iterates through L1 (first argument) and not L2.

Hello R specialists, I have a base vector called vBase with 102 elements. I have another vector vec1 which elements are only part of vBase but is shorter. I transform vec1 so I get a vector with the same size as vBase and with each common element on the same indexed row. If a value is missing in vec1 then I put a Na like this: vec1 vBase Amsterdam Amsterdam Na
