Dear Bert and Jeff, The result is an output of another code and it will be too long or unnecessary to show all I'm I did to arrive at the given data frame.
Since my single line code works for Jeff, I had to take a second look and try to get it working for me. I then read the data frame using d<-read.table("MOSC",colClasses=c("Date","numeric")) and tried: Year <- subset(d1, d1[[1]] > "1998-01-01" & d1[[1]] < "2006-01-01") and arrived at my goal. Thank you for the hint. Best regards Ogbos On Mon, Sep 9, 2019 at 8:22 PM Jeff Newmiller <jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.us> wrote: > > Works for me.
