Hi all,

I am really new to dealing with Excel date and time formats to be used in R.

I have an Excel exported data matrix in TXT format.

One column, labeled DATE, is of the following format examples:


1/8/98 1:00
1/8/98 23:00


to mean that the observation was made on 1st of August 1998 at 1AM and
another
observation made at 11PM. This is a time series example.

How do I read in this column in R and convert it most appropriately in a
format that
R can handle and be utilized in fitting a time series model to the data?

Thank you for your answers!

Amy Young
