Hi,
I've been using the chron package to convert excel time into
month/day/year and h:m:s formats, specifically for use as axis labels.
I've come across something I don't quite understand.
### Here are some excel times:
dat = c(39083, 39083.00694, 39083.01389, 39083.02083, 39083.02778,
39083.03472, 39083.04167, 39083.04861, 39083.05556, 39083.0625
)
### I create date/time vectors from excel times:
orig =chron("01/01/1900");
# month/day/year h:m:s format
date.time = orig + dat-2;
# h:m:s format
time= date.time - floor(date.time);
# month/day/year format
date = orig + floor(dat)-2;
#I can easily recreate the date.time vector without the parenthesis (as
characters though):
paste(date, time)
But, I don't see why the values in the ORIGINAL date.time vector have
parenthesis around them? Is there as specific reason?
Thanks!
