Hi,

 

How do I subset data based on a time variable? The variable has the time format which makes it look like "21:36:00." I want anyone between 7pm and 12pm?

 

Num8TIME.

Do you know if there is a way to combine a date variable and a time variable to create a Datetime variable?

The dhms() function. Use the date as the first and the time as the fourth parameter; set the second and third parameter to zero.

12 pm is (per definition) noon, so your rule would include everything from 19:00 on one day to 12:00 on the next.

I rather guess you want to include everything between '19:00:00't and '24:00:00't;
