Hi Shivi82, My suggestion is that the error concerned a mismatch between the number of labels and the number of bars.
More seriously, you seem to want to sum the values of weight (MFST_WT) within each month. So: tot_mon_wt<-by(mwlc$MFST_WT,mwlc$Month,sum) barplot(tot_mon_wt, names.arg = sort(unique(mwlc$Month)), las=2, ylim=c(0,25000),col="red",border="orange", main="Monthly Weight") Jim On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 7:28 PM, Shivi82 <shivibha...@ymail.com> wrote: > Hello All, > I need help on creating a histogram for one of my data.
