Ah, OK. sapply -evidently- only gives an output for every case that goes in.
Which is only one, as there is only one DEL case. You can use that output to
change the corresponding value in the dataframe, like :
tradenews <- trades
tradenews$Buy.Sell..Cleared.[which(trades$Trade.Status=="DEL")] <-
sapply(trades$Buy.Sell..Cleared.[which(trades$Trade.Status=="DEL")],
switch,Sell="Buy",Buy="Sell")
Also take a look at these help files and the examples mentioned in there.
?switch
?sapply
?which
And please, give your variables some decent names. All those points make
your code very error-prone.
Cheers
Joris
