Hi everybody,
I have a strange behavior of the as.Date() function.
No, you have a programming error.
For example:
as.Date(36525, origin="1900-01-01'")
You have a superfluous "'"
> as.Date(36525, origin="1900-01-01")
[1] "2000-01-02"
I would expect to get 2000-01-01. But R gives me
[1] "2070-01-01"
I tried with several origins but the results are still the same. It
seems that the origin does not apply and remains 1970-01-01.
Does anyone can give me a hint how to solve this problem?
Thanks very much.
Fabio
