It would help if you supplied a small dataset so we could reproduce your problem problem. Here is one that gives the same error. (I also moved some parentheses around so "%y-%m-%d" is an argument to as.Date() instead of to group_by().) data.frame(pickdate=paste(sep="-",15,08,c(21,22,21,22,22)), waybill=2^(0:4)) %>% group_by(as.Date(pickdate,"%y-%m-%d")) %>% summarize(Total=count(waybill)) #Error: no applicable method for 'group_by_' applied to an object of class "c('double', 'numeric')"
I think count() is a wrapper for summarize() (or summarise() outside the US), not something to call from within summarize(), but I may be wrong (the help file is terse). Try using n() instead: data.frame(pickdate=paste(sep="-",15,08,c(21,22,21,22,22)), waybill=2^(0:4)) %>% group_by(as.Date(pickdate,"%y-%m-%d")) %>% summarize(N=n(), Sum=sum(waybill), Mean=mean(waybill)) #Source: local data frame [2 x 4] # # as.Date(pickdate, "%y-%m-%d") N Sum Mean #1 2015-08-21 2 5 2.500000 #2 2015-08-22 3 26 8.666667 Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com On Sat, Aug 22, 2015 at 12:43 AM, Shivi82 <shivibha...@ymail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I am using dplyr package and need to find total bills booked grouped on a > date level however my date is integer. > In the code below i was trying to change date format from integer.
