[R] difficulty in Formatting time series data

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

SMALL, reproducible examples...

Anyway, it's not that difficult. Try this

d.of.w <- as.integer(format(as.Date(test1$Date, format="%d/%m/%Y"), "%w"))
str(d.of.w)
head(d.of.w)


Note that the format '%w' gives days in 0-6, where Sunday == 0. See
?strftime.
Your Friday is therefore 5.
(Or use d.of.w <- d.of.w + 1)

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
