Date to calendar year (character)

Converts a date to its calendar (Gregorian) year, returned as a character string.

Usage

date_to_calyear_c(x = lubridate::today())

# Default S3 method
date_to_calyear_c(x)

# S3 method for class 'character'
date_to_calyear_c(x = lubridate::today())

# S3 method for class 'Date'
date_to_calyear_c(x = lubridate::today())

Arguments

x

A Date object, or a character string in the format 'yyyy-mm-dd'.

Value

Calendar year as a character vector (e.g. "2021").

Details

Unlike the ISO year (see date_to_isoyear_c()), the calendar year is taken directly from the date, so 2021-01-01 is calendar year "2021".
