  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to convert this to a Time Series of Value keeping the same format. i.e. I need to be able store the date and time components too. This is is because i want to "deseasonalize" the data. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>z &lt;- read.csv("fileName", header=TRUE,sep=",")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but not sure what to do from here. Can anyone show me how to load into a time series object properly? Or is there another way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
