Still putzing around trying to increment a count vector when the date changes.
Date count
1 2018-03-29 1
2 2018-03-29 1
3 2018-03-29 1
81 2018-03-30 1
82 2018-03-30 1
83 2018-03-30 1
165 2018-03-31 1
166 2018-03-31 1
167 2018-03-31 1
I can get count to change when the date changes - lines 81 and 165 - by
comparing the date to the date on the previous line (lag(Date,1)) but then the
count returns to 1 on line 82 and line 166.
test2 <- transform(test2,
+ count = ifelse(Date == lag(Date,1),count,count+1))
> test2
Date count
1 2018-03-29 NA
2 2018-03-29 1
3 2018-03-29 1
81 2018-03-30 2
82 2018-03-30 1
83 2018-03-30 1
165 2018-03-31 2
166 2018-03-31 1
167 2018-03-31 1
test2 <- transform(test2,
+ count = ifelse(Date == lag(Date,1),(lag(count,1)),(lag(count,1)+1)))
With the code above I get the same results. It seems to me that line 82 should
have count = 2 since the dates on line 81 and 82 are the same so the count from
line 82 should be the same as 81 - (lag(count,1)). Similarly, if line 83 were
count = 2 then line 165 should be equal to 3.
What am I missing here? Is there a way to add an & clause to either the if or
the else clause such as:
((-2:2) >= 0) & ((-2:2) <= 0)I’ve tried this several different ways such as:
(lag(count,1)) &(count = count+1).
with no success.
Thanks,
Philip
