Dear list: I can now reproduce with a bit of my real data, the problem I asked for your help yestarday:
time1<- as.Date(c("2006-01-03", "2006-05-03", "2006-05-04", "2006-05-11", "2006-05-12", "2006-05-16", "2006-05-19", "2006-05-26", "2006-09-15", "2006-10-30", "2006-11-08", "2006-11-14", "2006-11-20")) volume1<- c(7312.5, 3352.5, 4252.5, 3825.0, 2700.0, 585.0, 810.0, 3015.0, 2925.0, 1102.5, 2632.5, 652.5, 1417.5) dat1<- data.frame(v1=time1, v2=volume1) time2<- as.Date(c("2006-05-03", "2006-05-09", "2006-05-04", "2006-05-08", "2006-07-14", "2006-07-10", "2006-05-12", "2006-05-17", "2006-05-19", "2006-05-26", "2006-05-29", "2006-05-18", "2006-05-22", "2006-07-03", "2006-07-05", "2006-07-06", "2006-07-04", "2006-07-24", "2006-07-12", "2006-07-18")) volume2<- c(4522.5, 7065.0, 3622.5, 7875.0, 3532.5, 3667.5, 6480.0, 4612.5, 4005.0, 10350.0, 5310.0, 6345.0, 7177.5, 5107.5, 4837.5, 3352.5, 4050.0, 6772.5, 7290.0, 5625.0) dat2<- data.frame(v1=time2, v2=volume2) subset(dat1, v1 %in% dat2$v1 & v2 %in% dat2$v2) v1 v2 2 2006-05-03 3352.5 This is not what I expect since this row is not present in dat2 and I just want records present in both dataframes. Help?
