I have character date format, November 17, 2021, and how can I convert it into the date format, 2021-11-17 in R? I have tried as.Date() but it returns an error. Thanks so much for your help.

x <- "November 17, 2021"
as.Date(x)

Using the lubridate library, you can do:

Reprex

• Code

library(lubridate)
x <- "November 17, 2021"
mdy(x)

• Output

# "2021-11-17"
