Not a tiny bit. Let me generate the data, which as I am aware only you have for the time being mm<-matrix(sample(2000:2010, 3700, replace=T), 10,370) dim(mm) [1] 10 370 wvs.a <- as.data.frame(mm) wvs.a[,362] [1] 2000 2006 2002 2007 2000 2001 2009 2003 2004 2002 table(wvs.a[,362]) 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2006 2007 2009 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 norway <- wvs.a[which(wvs.a[,362] == "2005"), ] dim(norway) [1] 0 370 So everything works. I do not see any problem, do you?
