how to get red of a letter in Date column

[musaad]

Dears,
I've been trying to read CSV data and i have the following code:

d_recovered <- recovered %>%
pivot_longer(-c(Province.State,Country.Region, Lat, Long), names_to = "date" , values_to = "recovered_num") %>%
clean_names() %>%
mutate(
date = as.Date(date, format = "%m/%d/%y")
) %>%
group_by(date, country_region) %>%
summarise(recovered_num = sum(recovered_num))

the question here is that how can i get red of X and replace it with Zero in the date column as it appears when i tried to read the file.

The dataset looks like the following:

and because of the X letter appeared in the date column i got NA values

And this is the result set i get because of the letter X in the date column:

Hi!

To help us help you, could you please prepare a reproducible example (reprex) illustrating your issue? Please have a look at this guide, to see how to create one:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…
