R: Lubridate outputformat DMY

I was studying the cheat-sheet and other ressources, however I always found examples using lubridatefrom tidyverseputting me the result date into the format Y-M-D

For example having in the raw data the following:

01.06.2016 whhich says First July of 2016 and running: Date.last.Contact = lubridate::dmy(Date.last.Contact) giving me 2016-06-01

I just want the german format like 01-06-2016. I have to mutate it into date-format to calculate the minimal date od some datarows in my r-script. I was looking for a parameter where I can specify the output format, however I did not find the hint.

You want

format(ymd(20200102), "%d.%m.%Y")

output:

"02.01.2020"

It is simply about the way you format the output string that is create from the date vector.
