HI,
Without using "ifelse()" on the same example dataset.
d <- data.frame(stringsAsFactors = FALSE, transaction = c("T01", "T02",
"T03", "T04", "T05", "T06", "T07", "T08", "T09", "T10"),date =
c("2012-10-19", "2012-10-19", "2012-10-19", "2012-10-19", "2012-10-22",
"2012-10-23", "2012-10-23", "2012-10-23", "2012-10-23", "2012-10-23"),time
= c("08:00", "09:00", "10:00", "11:00", "12:00", "13:00", "14:00", "15:00",
"16:00", "17:00"))

d$date <- as.Date(d$date,format="%Y-%m-%d")
d$time<-strptime(d$time,format="%H:%M")$hour
d$flag<-unlist(rbind(lapply(split(d,d$date),function(x) x[3]==max(x[3]))))
d$datetime<-as.POSIXct(paste(d$date,d$time," "),format="%Y-%m-%d %H")
d1<-d[,c(1,5,4)]
?d1
#?? transaction??????????? datetime? flag
#1????????? T01 2012-10-19 08:00:00 FALSE

I think i have a better solution

*## Example data.frame*
d <- data.frame(stringsAsFactors = FALSE, transaction = c("T01", "T02",
"T03", "T04", "T05", "T06", "T07", "T08", "T09", "T10"),date =
c("2012-10-19", "2012-10-19", "2012-10-19", "2012-10-19", "2012-10-22",
"2012-10-23", "2012-10-23", "2012-10-23", "2012-10-23", "2012-10-23"),time
= c("08:00", "09:00", "10:00", "11:00", "12:00", "13:00", "14:00", "15:00",
"16:00", "17:00"))

*## As date tranfomation*
d$date <- as.Date(d$date)
d$time <- strptime(d$time, format='%H')

library(reshape)

*## Create factor to split the data*
fdate <- factor(format(d$date, '%D'))

*## Create a list with logical TRUE when is the last transaction*
ex <- sapply(split(d, fdate), function(x)
ifelse(as.numeric(x[,'time'])==max(as.numeric(x[,'time'])),T,F))

*## Coerce to logical vector*
flag <- unlist(rbind(ex))

*## With reshape we have the transform function e can add the flag column *
d <- transform(d, flag = flag)
