Hi, I wonder if someone can suggest how to create a new data.frame Y from X where X$PL_Pos is summed by each unique X$MyDate. Y should end up with two (or more) columns Y$MyDate and Y$PL_Sum with its value being the cumsum of all the values in X for that date. - a 'daily cumsum'.
Thanks, Mark TStoDate = function (TSDate) { X = strptime(TSDate + 19e6L, "%Y%m%d") return(as.Date(X)) } X = structure(list(EnDate = c(1090803, 1090804, 1090805, 1090806, 1090806, 1090810, 1090811, 1090812, 1090813, 1090817, 1090819, 1090820, 1090820, 1090824, 1090825, 1090825, 1090826, 1090826, 1090827, 1090827, 1090827), PL_Pos = c(174, -26, 614, 344, -26, 414, -626, 544, -106, -146, 1004, 344, 224, -716, -176, 44, 354, -346, -296, 564, 354)), .Names = c("EnDate", "PL_Pos"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("733", "734", "3631", "3641", "736", "2403", "2413", "3651", "3661", "3671", "3681", "3691", "1303", "3701", "1304", "1305", "2432", "1306", "3712", "1307", "4214")) X$MyDate = TStoDate(X$EnDate) X ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
