By the way, I used age and gender as examples. Plus, I've seen something very similar posted a while ago. If the problem I listed isn't an issue, then that code will work. Best, Bill
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]: RE: [R] merging 3 data sets at onceDate: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 20:50:34 -0400 I could suggest merge(merge(data1,data2), data3). However, one problem I notice is that is assigns age=12 and gender=M to everyone with id=1, and so on. How are we to know that person with id=1 in data1 is the same person with id=1 in data2 and data3?
