Filtering dates in dplyr

Question

My tbl_df:

    > p2p_dt_SKILL_A%>%
    + select(Patch,Date,Prod_DL)%>%
    + head()
      Patch       Date Prod_DL
    1  P1 2015-09-04    3.43
    2 P11         


        

Answer 1

Another more verbose option would be to use the function between, a shortcut for x >= left & x <= right. We need to change the days to account for the = sign, and to use as.Date (explanation here).

p2p_dt_SKILL_A%>%
                select(Patch,Date,Prod_DL)%>%
                filter(between(Date, as.Date("2015-09-05"),as.Date("2015-09-17")))
