将3列(天,月,年)转换为单个日期列R

我有一个称为日期的数据框,如下所示:

 Day     Month      Year
 2       April      2015
 5       May        2014
 23      December   2017

此代码是:

date <- data.frame(Day = c(2,5,23),
                   Month = c("April", "May", "December"),
                   Year = c(2015, 2014, 2017))

我想创建一个新的列,如下所示:

Day     Month      Year     Date
 2       April      2015    2/4/2015
 5       May        2014    5/5/2014
 23      December   2017    23/12/2017

为此,我尝试:

data <- data %>%
    mutate(Date = as.Date(paste(Day, Month, Year, sep = "/"))) %>% 
    dmy()

但是我收到一条错误消息:

Error in charToDate(x) : 
   character string is not in a standard unambiguous format

我没有看到明显的错误吗?

非常感谢您。

我们需要在as.Date中使用适当的格式。使用基数R,我们可以做到

transform(data, Date = as.Date(paste(Day, Month, Year, sep = "/"), "%d/%B/%Y"))

#  Day    Month Year       Date
#1   2    April 2015 2015-04-02
#2   5      May 2014 2014-05-05
#3  23 December 2017 2017-12-23

或者使用dplyrlubridate

library(dplyr)
library(lubridate)

data %>% mutate(Date = dmy(paste(Day, Month, Year, sep = "/")))

如果需要更改显示格式,可以添加format(Date, "%d/%m/%Y")
