Hi! I am not expert in R, but perhaps you can try the following - X = as.numeric(read.csv('quantity.csv')) Y = read.csv('equity_price.csv') Y = Y[, -1] Z = X*Y port_val = NULL for(i in 1 : nrow(Z)) { port_val[i] = sum(Z[i,]) } write.csv(data.frame(Z, port_val = port_val), 'PORTFOLIO.csv', row.names = FALSE)
I am sure the experts will have much simpler way to address this problem.

'quantity.csv' GOOG YHOO 1000 100 'equity_price.csv' sr_no GOOG_price YHOO_price 1 15.22 536.40 2 15.07 532.97 3 15.19 534.05 4 15.16 531.86 5 15.11 532.11 My problem is to calculate the portfolio value for each of these 5 days (actually my portfolio consists of 47 comanies and prices taken are for last 1 year). I had defined X = read.csv('quantity.csv') Y = read.csv('equity_price.csv') I have tried the loop Z = array() for (i in 1:2) { Z[i] = (X[[i]]*Y[i]) } # When I write this dataframe as write.csv(data.frame(Z), 'Z.csv', row.names = FALSE) When I open 'Z.csv' file, I get c.2500L..3300L..4500L..1000L..4400L. c.14000L..45000L..48000L..26000L..15000L. 2500 14000 3300 45000 4500 48000 1000 26000 4400 15000 My requirement is to have the column heads and the portfolio total as GOOG YHOO Total 2500 14000 16500 3300 45000 48300 4500 48000 52500 1000 26000 27000 4400 15000 19400 Please guide Regards Sarah [[alternative HTML version deleted]] -----Inline Attachment Follows----- ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. tp://downloads.yahoo.com/in/internetexplorer/ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
