Dear Jim, Thank you for looking into this. Sorry, there was actually no overlap in the small part of the data I reported. My error of omission.
So when I run my full data with the adjustment you made, I got some thing that was far from what I was expecting. That tell me that I need to send the complete data to enable you correctly adjust the code, especially in the light of the missing/present overlap. I have used deput function to attach the two files. Please use any symbol to depict the color/mark/legend of the overlap dates (just to enable the reader visualize what is going on). I am actually trying to display event frequency/occurrence per year. Thank you and warmest regards Ogbos On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 1:13 AM Jim Lemon <drjimle...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Ogbos, > I don't think that your example allows us to work out what you are > trying to do.
