I looks like you want to use the 'split' function which would create a list of dataframes with the various conditions:
result <- split(Baumdaten, list(Baumdaten$transectID, Baumdaten$Baumart), drop = TRUE) On Sun, Jul 15, 2012 at 11:31 AM, burton030 <burto...@hotmail.de> wrote: > Dear all, > > I have a data frame with different variables and I want to build different > subsets out of this data frame using some conditions and I want to use a > loop because there will be a lot of subsets and this would be saving a lot > of time. > > I try to give you an overview about my data frame.
