Hello, In R you would use vectorized instructions, not a do while loop.
dat <- read.table(text=" client pct_total A 15% B 10% C 10% D 9% E 8% F 6% G 4% ", header = TRUE) # Make it numeric dat$pct_total <- with(dat, as.numeric(sub("%", "", pct_total))/100) str(dat) # see its STRucture top <- which(dat$pct_total >= median(dat$pct_total)) # make index vector sum(dat$pct_total[top]) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 18-09-2012 15:41, ramoss escreveu:
Hello, I am a newbie to R coming from SAS background. I am trying to program the following: I have a monthly data frame with 2 variables: client pct_total A 15% B 10% C 10% D 9% E 8% F 6% G 4% I need to come up w/ a monthly list of clients that make 50% or just above it every month so I can pass them to the rest of the program. In this case the list would contain the first 4 rows. top <- client[c(1,4),] toptot <- sum(top$PCTTOT) How can I make this automatic? In SAS I would use macro w/ a do while. Thanks for your help. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Conditional-operations-in-R-tp4643497.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
