Unfortunately you did not read theinformation about posting attachments carefully enough and you csv filewas scrubbed by the mailserver.. I will attempt to recreate it: > dat <- read.table(text=" 28/04 29/04 30/04 01/05 02/05 + 532703 0 1 1 1 0 + 532704 1 1 1 1 1 + 532705 0 0 1 1 0", header=TRUE) > sdat <- stack(dat) > sdat$id <- rownames(dat) > sdat2 <- sdat[sdat$values>0, c(3,2,1)] > sdat2$ind <- factor( sub("\\.", "/", sdat2$ind)) > sdat2$ind <- factor( sub("X", "", sdat2$ind)) At this point I think I have something similar to your original and will show how xtabs() can be used: > xtabs(values ~id+ind, data=sdat2) ind id 01/05 02/05 28/04 29/04 30/04 532703 1 0 0 1 1 532704 1 1 1 1 1 532705 1 0 0 0 1 The dates are not sorted the same but if you used Date formatted values, they might. > sdat2$dt <- as.Date( sdat2$ind, format="%d/%m") > xtabs(values ~id+dt, data=sdat2) dt id 2012-04-28 2012-04-29 2012-04-30 2012-05-01 2012-05-02 532703 0 1 1 1 0 532704 1 1 1 1 1 532705 0 0 1 1 0 > to indicate the day that there are any data available, e.g.value=1 if > there are any data available for that day, otherwise value=0. > > > 28/04 29/04 30/04 01/05 02/05 > 532703 0 1 1 1 0 > 532704 1 1 1 1 1 > 532705 0 0 1 1 0 > > Only Column A (Names: automatically stored as integer if being read into R) > and Column B (date/time: automatically stored as factor if being read into > R) are useful for this task. > > Could anyone kindly provide me some hints/ideas about how to write some > code to to this job please? > > > Many thanks in advance! > > Best wishes > HJ > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
