Dear Claudia,

Depending on the dataset, it is possible to achieve the same results
by using merge(). It is a different way of thinking, but can
effectively "lookup" corresponding values in one data frame into
another.

If you give a sample of data then I could be a bit more specific!

Best wishes,

Mark
