If your efforts on those unspecified other forums were like this one, perhaps
repeating what doesn't work is your problem. You don't appear to have read and
understood the footer of any email on this list. For one thing, you need to
post in plain text (to avoid the corruption that HTML email can cause). For
another, your example is a valiant first attempt, but it is also a good example
of why the footer says to provide a reproducible example... "do something"
leaves too many possible solutions swimming in my head. A "dput" of
before-and-after data frames can aid our understanding, as can a simplified
calculation example go one car. Try reading
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example.
Also, this is an email list... you can expect some responses to take hours or
days, so it is more polite to check the archives after an hour or two to see if
your email was broadcast rather than sending it twice.
