Hi Shawn,
I don't have any trouble with this:
times<-c("7/20/21 13:30","7/20/21 13:40")
strptime(times,"%m/%d/%y %H:%M",tz="GMT")
[1] "2021-07-20 13:30:00 GMT" "2021-07-20 13:40:00 GMT"
I suspect that Excel is causing the problem. Try changing the format
of the date column to "Text" and work on the character representation
of the dates.
