Hi all,

I am reading previous posts and guidance on the 'reshape' package in order to 
solve the simple problem below. Thinking that this might be very trivial for 
most of you, I thought there could be a fast solution coming from you guys, and 
I´d be very thankful for that.

I have a matrix with dates, companies, prices, just like

Date    Company Price
set-11  A       3
dez-11  A       3,2
jan-12  A       3,3
fev-12  A       2,7
mar-12  A       2,7
abr-12  A       2,8
mai-12  A       2,9
jun-12  A       3
jul-12  A       3,1
mar-12  B       5
abr-12  B       5,5
mai-12  B       5,7
jun-12  B       7
jul-12  B       6,6
dez-11  C       1
jan-12  C       1,1
fev-12  C       1,11
mar-12  C       1,2
abr-12  C       1,3

and I want to convert it into something like below (missing data can be zeros 
or NAs)

                A       B       C
set-11  3       NA      NA
dez-11  3,2     NA      1
jan-12  3,3     NA      1,1
fev-12  2,7     NA      1,11
mar-12  2,7     5       1,2
abr-12  2,8     5,5     1,3
mai-12  2,9     5,7     NA
jun-12  3       7       NA
jul-12  3,1     6,6     NA

Workspace is attached. Thanks in advance.
