David,

Yes, that's better. I did not know of the sep option. The new results:

str(chemdata)
'data.frame':   14886 obs. of  4 variables:
$ site_id : Factor w/ 148 levels "BC-0.5","BC-1",..: 104 145 126 115 114
128 124 2 3 3 ...
$ sample_date: Factor w/ 1012 levels "1980-03-01","1980-05-01",..: 432 410
423 405 398 408 401 360 366 407 ...
$ param : Factor w/ 8 levels "Arsenic","Calcium",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 ...
$ quant : num 0.06 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 ...

 Now I can work on the commands I need.

That does look more workable. You might consider changing the dates with:

chemadata$samp_date <- as.Date(as.character(chemdata$sample_date) )



Many thanks,

Rich
