[R] Simple vector question.

[rkevinburton at charter.net]

Thank you this is exactly what I wanted.

I was unaware of the 'aggregate' function.

Now what if I want to know the sum of the sales per day AND per Category? So for the data below the DayOfYearSales for HOLIDAY and day 1 would be 2.

Thank you.

Kevin

I would like to form a vector from this data where the length of the vector is 365 and the value at each index coeresponds to the sum of the Quantity column where DayOfYear equals the index. For example if I was to use just the sample above this new vactor call it 'DayOfYearSales' would be:

> > Since in the snippet above only DayOfYear = 1:2  is shown. I want to continue the sum for the whole data frame. I am sure this is fairly easy. I just cannot find out how to do it. Once I figure this out it would be relatively straightforward to apply the same principle to columns of like Category, SKU, or SubCategory.
