I have a data frame 10 by 12 with positive and negative numbers. I want to select only the positive numbers and find the average.

This calculates the average of everything:
av5 <-  subset(ER9r, Day == 253, select = c (Depth1j:Depth0.75j)

That looks to be missing a closing paren. If so, then after fixing you first line try:

mean( av5[av5>0] )

av5 <- mean(av5)
I need something along the lines of "select" av5>0

Thanks in advance!
