hi Erin, Thanks for your reply to my problems. I tried and it works, but it sorted all the column. In my case, I want it to sort d user_id column and another information in other column will follow it. Now, after I sorted, the information which website viewed by user was wrong. I want to as how we can sort or filter in excel.
Thank you. regards, hema On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 4:44 PM, Umesh Srinivasan <umesh.sriniva...@gmail.com > wrote: > Hi, > There is definitely a more elegant way of doing this which I don't know > about (without a for loop), but try this: > > mat <- matrix(NA, nrow = max(user_id), ncol = 2) > mat[,1] <- 1:max(user_id) # 1st column of matrix is the user ID > > for (i in 1:max(user_id)){ > temp1 <- subset(data, user_id = i) > temp2 <- unique(temp1$website) > mat[2,i] <- length(temp2) > } > > The matrix will give you user id and number of sites visited, provided user > id ranges from 1 to the number of users.
