HI, If I understand it correctly, try this: dat1<-read.table(text=" Year Market Winner BID 1990 ABC Apple 0.1260 1990 ABC Apple 0.1395 1990 EFG Pear 0.1350 1991 EFG Apple 0.1113 1991 EFG Orange 0.1094 ",sep="",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
dat1[with(dat1,{Year==1990 & Market=="ABC"}),] #or dat1[((grepl("ABC{0,1}",dat1$Market))&(grepl("1990",dat1$Year))),] # Year Market Winner BID #1 1990 ABC Apple 0.1260 #2 1990 ABC Apple 0.1395 A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: kangam3 <jowe.tjioe.2...@business.smu.edu.sg> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2012 5:22 AM Subject: [R] how to view only readings of a selected data from a column while the other columns remain Hi Friends I am new here and have a problem Year Market Winner BID 1 1990 ABC Apple 0.1260 2 1990 ABC Apple 0.1395 3 1990 EFG Pear 0.1350 4 1991 EFG Apple 0.1113 5 1991 EFG Orange 0.1094 For each year and separately for the two markets (i.e.,ABC,EFG), examine the combined data for Apple and Pear on the bid price variable BID for presence of potential outliers.5 Identify instances where you observe the presence of potential outliers. I managed to separate the data by year only y <- c(1, seq(300)) > year1991 <- subset(X, y < 39) > year1991 Year1991 <- year1991[, c(1,2,3,5)] > Year1991 now I need help on whats the right R command to key to select(View) only ABC of the Market COLUMN, which the other column values remains. Is it possible to do multiple separation at one time? or step by step Kindly advise :) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-view-only-readings-of-a-selected-data-from-a-column-while-the-other-columns-remain-tp4643216.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
