Hi,

What about using functions like aggregate()?
Something like:
aggregate(Weight~datums, data=dataset1, FUN=mean)

If you need to do more things, you can create your own function for 'FUN'

HTH,
Ivan

Dear all,
I would like to do multiple actions on a subset of my data. Therefore, I want to create a 
for loop on the variable "Date" (actually a double for loop on yet another 
variable, but let's omit that for a moment).
I want to run down every level of "Date" and perform multiple actions on the 
data from a certain date. Here is my code:

for (i in 1:length(datums)){
meanweight<-mean(dataset1[dataset1$Date==datums[i],]$Weight)
...

However, this subsetting obviously doesn't work. How can I adjust my code so 
that R runs down all levels of Data in a for loop?
(I need the for loop, not tapply(), sapply(), ...)

Thanks in advance,
Dieter Anseeuw
