Good day, i imported some data into R from Excel. By using the edit() function, this is what one of the dates looks like in R:
> x <- structure(1254351600, class = c("POSIXt", "POSIXct"), tzone = "") [1] "2009-10-01 BST" However, when i do the following, the date changes: > as.Date(x, formate="%Y-%m-%d" ) [1] "2009-09-30" I don't understand why this is happening. I realise that i can get around this by doing as.Date(as.character(x)), but would be nice to understand why it doesn't work directly.
