Hi all,

I have a dataset similar to the following

Name    Date    Value
A       1/01/2000       4
A       2/01/2000       4
A       3/01/2000       5
A       4/01/2000       4
A       5/01/2000       1
B       6/01/2000       2
B       7/01/2000       1
B       8/01/2000       1

I would like R to remove duplicates based on column 1 and 3 only. In
addition, I would like R to remove duplicates based on the underlying and
overlying row only. For example, for A, I would like to remove row 2 only
and keep row 1, 3 and 4.

I have tried: unique() and replicated(), but I do not have much success. I
have also tried: dataset<-c(1,diff(dataset)!=0), but I don't know how to
apply it to this multi-column situation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
