simple data.frame question
Dear friends - I hope you will forgive me another simple question, illustrated by ID <- c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3) PERIOD <- c(1,2,3,2,3,1,2,3) X <- runif(8,0,10)) FF <- data.frame(ID=ID,PERIOD=PERIOD,X=X) I need to the fourth value of X as NA, and ID and PERIOD is updated to 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3 and 1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 respectively. How do I use the pattern in ID and PERIOD to find the lacking X and put NA? Best wishes Troels Ring, Aalborg, Denmark
