Hello.
Now i tried to do what you told me.
I used the str(fuction), and data$date1 and data3$date1 where both listed
"character". I changed "name" to character but it did not work either.
I also changed all variables to character, with no positive result.
str(data)
'data.frame': 14446 obs. of 15 variables:
$ id : chr "1" "1" "1" "1" ...
$ compid : chr "2514" "2514" "2514" "2514" ...

If I want to just keep the observations from "data" (14446 observations)
merged with "data3". Is it correct to use:
data4<-merge(data,data3, by=c("name","date1"), all=T)
or should I use:
data4<-merge(data,data3, by=c("name","date1"), all.x=F)?
(Then I get ca 14000 obs, but "NA" in all variables from "data3".
In advance, thank you.
