how to create the data frame

Hi,

Let's say you original data.frame is called df1, you can do:
df2 <- data.frame(date=row.names(df1), weekly.returns=df1[[1]])

Next time, think about giving us you sample data through the dput() 
function. It makes it way easier.

HTH,
Ivan

Hi Dude!!

It seems that your column names are not sequentially arranged, I guess, 

If so u just reorder them and do it your way...it will work..

for example,

colnames(data)[2]<?"weekly.returns" ## sometimes u can use like this as
well, if u want to assign at last most column 
                                                                   ## in
your data frame
                                                                   ## 
names(data)[ncol(data)]<?"weekly.returns"
and
colnames(data)[1]<? "date"

I hope it will work for your bug!!!

Hi,

Try this:
dat1<-read.table(text="
??? weekly.returns
2010-1-4??????? -0.015933327
2010-1-11??????? -0.015042868
2010-1-18??????? 0.005350297
2010-1-25??????? -0.049324703
2010-2-1??????? -0.052674121
",sep="",header=TRUE)
dat2<-data.frame(date=row.names(dat1),weekly.returns=dat1[1])
row.names(dat2)<-1:nrow(dat2)
?class(dat2$date)
#[1] "factor"

#if date column needed to be formatted to date class
dat2$date<-as.Date(dat2$date, format="%Y-%m-%d")
?dat2
??????? date weekly.returns
1 2010-01-04?? -0.015933327
2 2010-01-11?? -0.015042868
3 2010-01-18??? 0.005350297
4 2010-01-25?? -0.049324703
5 2010-02-01?? -0.052674121

?class(dat2$date)
#[1] "Date"
