Hi, I am trying to aggregate max a Date type column but have weird
result, how do I fix this?
> a <- rbind(
+ data.frame(name='Tom', payday=as.Date('1999-01-01')),
+ data.frame(name='Tom', payday=as.Date('2000-01-01')),
+ data.frame(name='Pete', payday=as.Date('1998-01-01')),
+ data.frame(name='Pete', payday=as.Date('1999-01-01'))
+ )
> a
name payday
1 Tom 1999-01-01
2 Tom 2000-01-01
3 Pete 1998-01-01
4 Pete 1999-01-01
> aggregate(a$payday, list(a$name), max)
Group.1 x
1 Tom 10957
2 Pete 10592
Thanks,
Richard
