The request for a date column results in a bit of redundancy beyond what tapply would have produced, but here it is as specified:

> data.frame(dnames=names(tapply(X$PL_Pos, X$MyDate, sum)), dsums = tapply(X$PL_Pos, X$MyDate, sum) )
               dnames dsums
2009-08-03 2009-08-03   174
2009-08-04 2009-08-04   -26
2009-08-05 2009-08-05   614
2009-08-06 2009-08-06   318
2009-08-10 2009-08-10   414
2009-08-11 2009-08-11  -626
2009-08-12 2009-08-12   544

2009-08-20 2009-08-20   568
2009-08-24 2009-08-24  -716
2009-08-25 2009-08-25  -132
2009-08-26 2009-08-26     8

Hi,
  I wonder if someone can suggest how to create a new data.frame Y
from X where X$PL_Pos is summed by each unique X$MyDate. Y should end
up with two (or more) columns Y$MyDate and Y$PL_Sum with its value
being the cumsum of all the values in X for that date. - a 'daily
cumsum'.

Thanks,
Mark


TStoDate = function (TSDate) {
        X = strptime(TSDate + 19e6L, "%Y%m%d")
        return(as.Date(X))
}

X = structure(list(EnDate = c(1090803,

X$MyDate = TStoDate(X$EnDate)
