Hi,

I (think I) have a vector of dates in `rdat`. At least, `typeof.(rdat)` returns a lot of `Date`.

So I’m confused as to why `tmp = DataFrame(td = rdat)` returns a DataFrame with the column `td` listed as a vector of type `Any`.

More importantly, how do I get a vector of Dates into a DataFrame as a vector of Dates?

TIA.

D.

If there are only `Date` in the vector, you should be able to fix it by doing `identity.(v)` (note the dot) or `Vector{Date}(v)`.
