I've tried as.Date, as.POSIXlt and strptime  the problem is that the database has put a T between the numbers and R will not accept any conversions. currently it sees the date as a factor with the format  as 1981-01-02T08:00I would like to keep only the year and month, but my primary focus is to get R to recognize it as a date.
