Hi everybody,
could anyone help me in finding a way for selecting
from a dataframe each row that comes before another
that matches a condition?
EXAMPLE:
df
raw.number name date temp
1 aaa 2001-04-15 15
2 aaa 2001-01-15 12
3 aaa 2001-03-15 13
...
i-1 bbb 2002-04-15 15
i bbb 2002-03-15 14
the condition is:
df$temp==15
matching raws are 1 and i-1:
I need something to select (only) rows where date=one
month before the matching raws, so raws 3 and i.
(the variable name has more than one level)
Thanks
