What is NYT? Is it a dataframe? Is "Title" a column? What exactly are you wanting to plot? Is it just the values in column "B" where "Title" is equal to "A"? The posting guide does suggest that you provide a reproducible set of code/data. You can probably do what you want if you can explain w

Hi everyone, I'm trying to plot some data across time. I have a list of articles, ranks, date/times, authors, etc. Someone suggested using zoo and someone suggested using ts. I'm pretty new at this and have been trying a simple if() plot() statement, but it doesn't seem to work. I keep getting an
