[R] Extracting data and saving in excel

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

First coerce the column birth to class Date, then subset.


data$birth <- as.Date(data$birth)
i <- data$birth > as.Date("1979-01-01")
subdata <- data[i, ]


To write back to Excel, use write.csv or a package able to write Excel 
files directly.


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
