Hi,
Please check your dput().
By using your dput() output, I am getting:
$patient_id
[1] 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3
$responsed_at
[1] 14755 14797 14835 14883 14755 14789 14826 14857
$number
[1] 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
$score
[1] 1 1 2 3 1 5 4 5
$.Names
[1] "patient_id" "responsed_at" "number" "scores"
$row.names
[1] NA -8
$class
[1] "data.frame"
It looks like the image from shared also showed the same output. I am not using RStudio. So, I don't know what is wrong.
#the dput should be:dat1<- structure(list(patient_id = c(2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3),
responsed_at = c(14755,14797,14835,14883,14755,14789,14826,14857),
number = c(1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4), score=c(1,1,2,3,1,5,4,5)),
.Names = c("patient_id","responsed_at", "number", "scores"),row.names=c(NA,-8L),class = "data.frame")
dat1
# patient_id responsed_at number scores
#1 2 14755 1 1
#2 2 14797 2 1
#3 2 14835 3 2
#4 2 14883 4 3
#5 3 14755 1 1
#6 3 14789 2 5
#7 3 14826 3 4
#8 3 14857 4 5
library(zoo)
dat1$responsed_at<-as.Date(dat1$responsed_at)
dat1
# patient_id responsed_at number scores
#1 2 2010-05-26 1 1
#2 2 2010-07-07 2 1
#3 2 2010-08-14 3 2
#4 2 2010-10-01 4 3
#5 3 2010-05-26 1 1
#6 3 2010-06-29 2 5
#7 3 2010-08-05 3 4
#8 3 2010-09-05 4 5
str(dat1)
#'data.frame': 8 obs. of 4 variables:
# $ patient_id : num 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3
# $ responsed_at: Date, format: "2010-05-26" "2010-07-07" ...
# $ number : num 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
# $ scores : num 1 1 2 3 1 5 4 5

hi,
dput(head(data,8))
structure(list(patient_id = c(2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3),
responsed_at = c(14755,14797,14835,14883,14755,14789,14826,14857),
number = c(1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4), score=c(1,1,2,3,1,5,4,5),
.Names = c("patient_id",
"responsed_at", "number", "scores"), class = "data.frame"))
like this?
i use R studio, there are 4 windows , window of results is the output.

>>Hi,
>>I didn't understand which one is "window of results" and which is "my tables". According to your post, it looks like one of them is in the correct date format. So, you wanted to work on the dataset with the incorrect date format?
>>Please dput(head(dataset,20)). By using these images, it takes so much time to type the data as in your image and it won't give much details regarding the structure of your dataset.
