Hi R users,
I am using xlsReadWrite to read a particular excel file. In one of the columns I have dates ( say col=5). Now date column is read by default as numeric. So I used dateTimeAs= "isodatetime". This enables reading in the date format. However in the earlier column (say col=1) I have data which however starts from row 10. So to read data from column one I use colClasses="character". But this overrules the isodatetime. Now is there someway I can read in date format while keeping colClasses="character" Thanks for your help Ravi [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
