Problem - Date field from the dataset import is taken as character instead of date type and Integre is taken as character.

You can assign datatypes for the field using converting functions or while importing the data into a R variable.

For ex:

I have used global superstore dataset to show the data format as shown as above.

Lets convert data type of Ship date to Date and Row.Id to number datatype.

> d$Ship.Date = as.Date.character(d$Ship.Date,"%d-%m-%Y")
> d$Row.ID = as.numeric(d$Row.ID)

Another way is to provide a vector of variable locations to assign with a vector of datatypes.

> class(d$Row.ID) = "Numeric"

But this methos does not support date conversion, it would return NA values.
