Hi R users,

 

I am using xlsReadWrite to read a particular excel file. In one of the
columns I have dates ( say col=5). Now date column is read by default as
numeric. So I used dateTimeAs= "isodatetime". This enables reading in
the date format. However in the earlier column (say col=1) I have data
which however starts from row 10. So to read data from column one I use
colClasses="character". But this overrules the isodatetime. 

Now is there someway I can read in date format while keeping
colClasses="character"

 

Thanks for your help
