Details

partial.date.handling: By default, potential data columns containing entries that cannot be converted are skipped (option 'skip'). With 'force.conversion' fields incompatible with the date format are converted to NA. 'fill.partial.dates' keeps the original column untouched and adds a new column to the data frame with the name <colname>.partial.dates.processed in which partial are filled using fill.partial.date (e.g. Unknown.01.2013 -> 15.01.2013). With 'fill.partial.dates.and.keep.original' partial dates are processed directly and the original data is copied to <colname>.original.
