how to attach dates to the `EuStockMarkets` data set #20

Hi Vincent,

How do you attach real dates to the EuStockMarkets data set? I think that the mts column in the EuStockMarkets data set you are sharing is missing, which may help me to get to where I need to go. Would you add that back?

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

I have never worked with objects of class mts. To save it as a CSV file, I first need to convert it to a data.frame in the get_data function of my scrape.R script. For example, here is how I convert objects of class ts:

Could you recommend a better way to convert mts objects to a simple data.frame that can be saved to CSV?
