Hi!
I have just started learning R and today only I have joined this group. This is 
my first mail and I wish to thank all of you for allowing me to be part of this 
group.

I have following problem. I have an input.csv file such that

corp_id      date    investment_id       rate
corp1        17-Feb         1                 65
corp1        16-Feb         1                 70
corp1        15-Feb         1                 69
corp1        14-Feb         1                 89
corp1        13-Feb         1                 88
corp2        17-Feb         1                 95
corp2        16-Feb         1               135
corp2        15-Feb         1               140
corp3        17-Feb         2                 86
corp3        16-Feb         2                 73
corp5        17-Feb         3                 24
corp6        17-Feb         4                 44
corp11      17-Feb         1                 30
corp13      17-Feb         1                 16
corp21      15-Feb         3                 21


I have filtered them based on investment id as

invest_data = read.csv('input.csv')
investment_id = invest_data$investment_id

filtered1 <- subset(invest_data,investment_id==1)
filtered2 <- subset(invest_data,investment_id==2)
filtered3 <- subset(invest_data,investment_id==3)
filtered4 <- subset(invest_data,investment_id==4)

so filtered1 will give me

> filtered1
   corp_id   date         investment_id    stock_rate
1    corp1   17-Feb             1                    65
2    corp1   16-Feb             1                    70
3    corp1   15-Feb             1                    69
4    corp1   14-Feb             1                    89
5    corp1   13-Feb             1                    88
6    corp2   17-Feb             1                    95
7    corp2   16-Feb             1                  135
8    corp2   15-Feb             1                  140
13  corp11  17-Feb             1                    30
14  corp17  17-Feb             1                    16

My objective is to rearrange filtered1 as

date         corp1   corp2   corp11    corp17
17-Feb       65        95         30          16
16-Feb       70       135
15-Feb       69       140 
14-Feb       89
13-Feb       88

#(The above figures represent the corp-wise and date-wise rates for 
investment_id = 1.)

Please guide me how the filtered1 can be rearranged?

Thanking you

Anna Carter
