Convert string to Date object

To convert string to Date object, we can use as.Date function. The default format is 2015-01-01%Y-%m-%d or 2015/01/01%Y/%m/%d.

    as.Data("dateString")

filter data by year and moth

subset(data, format.Date(dateColumn, "%m") == "12" & format.Date(dateColumn, "%y") == "13")`

The data in the date column can be string or Date object. If using string, it should be %Y-%m-%d/%Y/%m/%d format.
