Hi, No problem.
In my previous post, I showed how to dput() your example dataset. Please use dput() in the future. vec1<- c(3.369247e-04,0.000000e+00,9.022183e-04,0.000000e+00,-1.105819e-04,-Inf,1.191271e-04,1.681718e-04,NaN,1.150126e-04,1.031037e-03,2.710993e-04) indx<-seq(as.Date("2009-09-01"),as.Date("2009-09-17"),by=1) indx1<-indx[-c(5:7,12:13)] library(zoo) z1<- zoo(vec1,order.by=indx1) sum(z1,na.rm=TRUE) #without removing the Inf. #[1] -Inf sum(z1[is.finite(z1)],na.rm=TRUE) #[1] 0.002833009 #or just sum(z1[is.finite(z1)]) #[1] 0.002833009 A.K. Thank you for your reply A.K. Sorry for my misleading -- the first question should be removing #N/A N/A values when reading a csv file. So the example provided in the original post was dragged from a csv spreadsheet directly. (which I used the code "prices=read.zoo("C:\\Users\\Desktop\\\\awc_au.csv",header=TRUE,sep=",",format="%Y-%m-%d" ") Then the following up question is removing from a zoo data set. After some calculation, the new zoo data set is as following: 2009-09-01 2009-09-02 2009-09-03 2009-09-04 2009-09-08 2009-09-09 3.369247e-04 0.000000e+00 9.022183e-04 0.000000e+00 -1.105819e-04 -Inf 2009-09-10 2009-09-11 2009-09-14 2009-09-15 2009-09-16 2009-09-17 1.191271e-04 1.681718e-04 NaN 1.150126e-04 1.031037e-03 2.710993e-04 I need to sum them up so I used "sum(Z, na.rm=TRUE)" to remove the NaN values but not for the Inf/-Inf. Hope it is clear to you.

Hi There, I have a dataset with many rows and few columns as following: 2009-07-15 #N/A N/A #N/A N/A 18.96858 2009-07-16 20.30685 20.40664 #N/A N/A 2009-07-17 20.78813 20.03991 20.40664 2009-07-20 21.41278 21.41278 20.03991 2009-07-21 22.9963 22.98397 21.41278 2009-07-22 23.06443 23.01112 22.98397 2009-07-23 23.45905 24.72232 23.01112 2009-07-24 24.89291 25.56603 24.72232 2009-07-27 25.38929 24.80535 25.56603 2009-07-28 25.26712 25.65566 24.80535 2009-07-29 25.83884 24.98163 25.65566 2009-07-30 #N/A N/A #N/A N/A 24.98163 2009-08-03 25.25553 25.93297 #N/A N/A 2009-08-04 26.02464 25.49159 25.93297 The class of the dataset is "zoo". My question might be stupid but could anyone suggest a way to remove the rows with #N/A values? I tried "rapply" command but it didn't work due to the data class. btw, how about for the "Inf" values?
