Convert Factor to Date/Time in R
This is the information contained within my dataframe: ## minuteofday: factor w/ 89501 levels "2013-06-01 08:07:00",... ## dDdt: num 7.8564 2.318 ... ## minutes: POSIXlt, format: NA NA NA I need to convert the minute of day column to a date/time format: minuteave$minutes <- as.POSIXlt(as.character(minuteave$minuteofday), format="%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S") I've tried as.POSIXlt , as.POSIXct and as.Date . None of which worked. Does anyone have ANY thoughts. The goal is to plot minutes vs. dDdt, but it won't let me plot in the specified time period that I want to as a factor. I have no idea what to try
