Error in character string is not in a standard unambiguous format
Error in character string is not in a standard unambiguous format is described in this article.
Let us take an example.
date <- "3458745875" date "3458745875"
The structure of our example data is shown in the previous RStudio console output: It’s a single date object with a numeric format.

Approach 1: Error in character string is not in a standard unambiguous format
Let’s pretend we’re trying to convert a numerical date to a regular date object. Then, as demonstrated below, we may try using the as.POSIXct function.
as.POSIXct(date, origin = "1984-01-01") Error in as.POSIXlt.character(x, tz, ...) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format
It’s worth noting that if we used the as.POSIXct function on a factor, we’d get a similar error notice.

Approach 2: Fix Error in as.POSIXlt.character(x, tz, …) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format
The date, which is currently formatted as a character, must first be converted to the numeric class.
date <- as.numeric(as.character(date)) date 3458745875
Now let’s try,
as.POSIXct(date, origin = "1984-01-01") "2093-08-08 00:14:35 IST"
This is completely functional!
