Hello,

I have quite a simple problem that I believe can be solved quite easily. I
have a dataframe as such:
Symbol       Date     Time Exchange TickType ReferenceNumber Price Size
1 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        B        83916044 13387    9
2 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        A        83916045 13388    1
3 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        B        83916054 13387    9
4 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        A        83916055 13388    1
5 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        B        83916533 13386   39
6 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        A        83916534 13388    1

I wanted the average of the B's and A's. I wrote this to perform that.
 NPrice <-
(YM1207$Price[which(YM1207$TickType=="B")]+YM1207$Price[which(YM1207$TickType=="A")])/2

head(NPrice)
[1] 13387.5 13387.5 13387.0 13386.5 13386.5 13387.0

Now since NPrice is much smaller than the original dataframe, YM1207 I can
not just add NPrice to the set.
How can I put each of those averages back into their corresponding row? I
would even prefer repeating the values for A's as well..

I would like to do it as such..

Symbol       Date     Time Exchange TickType ReferenceNumber Price Size
NPrice
1 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        B        83916044 13387
9   13387.5
2 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        A        83916045 13388
1    13387.5
3 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        B        83916054 13387
9    13387.5
4 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        A        83916055 13388
1     13387.5
5 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        B        83916533 13386
39   13387.0
6 3:YMZ7.EC 12/03/2007 08:30:00       EC        A        83916534 13388
1    13387.0

Thankyou much

Neil
