I currently have a data frame with a Fund ID and NAV value. Is it possible to order the data frame and move to separate columns in a new data frame or matrix in R without using a for loop? I suppose I'd like to use a built in function to make it faster because I will have around 60,000 entries to sort and my current program takes too long to do this. I know how to use order, but is there a way to separate the result and place into new vectors of a matrix or data frame?
Thanks Conrad Here are my vectors which I import from a csv file: ID UNAV #1694 999.89 #1696 999.9 #1694 999.87 #1696 999.88 #1694 999.84 #1696 999.86 #1694 999.82 #1696 999.84 #1694 999.79 #1696 999.82 #1694 999.71 #1696 999.75 #1694 999.69 #1696 999.73 #1694 999.66 #1696 999.71 #1694 999.64 #1696 999.69 #1694 999.61 #1696 999.67 #1694 999.54 #1696 999.7 #1694 999.51 #1696 1002.24 #1694 999.48 #1696 1012.14 #1694 999.46 #1696 1003.38 #1694 999.43 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
