Hello,
You are passing a tbl_df to functions that expect a vector.
Here is a first, simpler example.
library(tidyverse)
df1 <- tibble(Date = Sys.Date() + 0:9)
## both produce expected result
format(df1$Date, format = "%d %b %Y")
df1 %>%
mutate(d = format(Date, format = "%d %b %Y"))
Now your with data.
## does NOT produces desired result, dateRanges is an
## object of classes 'tbl_df', 'tbl' and 'data.frame'
format(dateRanges, format = "%d %b %Y")
## produces desired result
dateRanges %>%
mutate(minMRD = format(minMadeRequestDates, format = "%d %b %Y")) %>%
select(minMRD)
## rather cumbersome, and also produces the desired output
mutate(dateRanges, minMRD = format(minMadeRequestDates, format = "%d %b
%Y")) %>%
select(minMRD)
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

I'm not understanding how the tidyverse handles date formats.

str(dateRanges)
## produces desired result
format(dateRanges, format = "%d %b %Y")
## does not produce desired result
library(dplyr)
format(dateRanges, format = "%d %b %Y")
## rather cumbersome, and also does not produce the desired output
mutate(dateRanges, minMRD = as.Date(minMadeRequestDates, format = "%d %b
%Y"))
How does one change the format of a date variable inside a tibble when
dplyr is loaded?
Thanks
