It is best to use Date, rather than POSIXct, class if there are no times. Use the cumsum expression shown to group the dates and then summarize each group. We assume that the dates are already sorted in ascending order. library(dplyr) mydf <- data.frame(date = as.Date(c("2012-02-05", "2012-

It is perhaps more reliable in that it uses methods for class POSIXct rather than depending on the underlying class structure and conversion via as.numeric. In theory, the methods won't change or any changes will be d
