Hello Eric, strptime("201206",format="%Y%m") gives NA (I don't know why but I'm a newbie).
The only solution I found is to add "01" as a day to have a complete date (Year Month Day): x$Period<-as.Date(paste(x$Period,"01",sep=""),format="%Y%m%d") Then you get a Date format you can use to plot graph. I think you will get better solutions from advanced users. Have a good day, Ptit Bleu. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Creating-dates-to-plot-tp4649695p4649704.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
