these are just part of the frames......
i have to subtract the first five values of dataframe2 from one value from
dataframe1
eg: subtract<-DF2$Day_0_Read1-DF1$ ZeroMean


if u notice the repair hours in both have to match...along with their id's.
i have tried this
zeroday_subtract1=DF1$Day_0_Read1 - DF2[DF1$RepairHours,]$ZeroMean
but it dosent work


please help me with this...i know its basic but i needhelp
thx in advance
