Re: [R] Separating Date and Time

Hi Jeff, Well, the output of "format" is character strings, so that is what you are missing. I assume that you want to get two numeric values for each date. date1<-"06/20/2019 09:07" > as.POSIXct(date1,format="%m/%d/%Y %H:%M") [1] "2019-06-20 09:07:00 AEST" day<-as.numeric(as.POSIXct(date1,format

[R] Separating Date and Time

R-Help I'm using the following code to deparate the date and time components from a date_time varaible as follows: dt1$date <- format(as.POSIXct(dt1$date_time, format = "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M"), "%Y-%m-%d") dt1$time <- format(as.POSIXct(dt1$date_time, format = "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M"), "%H:%M:%S") B
