I want to bring it in to DD/MM/YYYY format for usability in Prophet Forecasting code.
this is what i have tried so far.
for (loopitem in loopvec){
df2 <- subset(df, account_id==loopitem)
df3 <- df2[,c("year_month","amount_usd")]
df3$year_month <- as.Date(df3$year_month, format="YYYY-MM", origin="1/1/1970")
try <- prophet(df3, seasonality.mode = 'multiplicative')
}
Error in fit.prophet(m, df, ...) : Dataframe must have columns 'ds' and 'y' with the dates and values respectively.
You need to paste the day number (I'm just using the first) to the year_month values, then can use the ymd() function from lubridate to convert the column to a date object.
library(dplyr)
library(lubridate)
mutate_at(df, "year_month", ~ymd(paste(., "01")))
