problem with conditional column sums

Hi, 

  I think you need quotation around I like the following:
status
2010 2011 2012
1     A    A    A
2     A    I    I
3     A    A    A
4     U    U    U
5     A    A    A
6     I    I    I
7     U    I    I
8     A    U    A
9     I    A    U
10    I    I    I
apply(start,2,function(x) {sum(x=="I",na.rm=TRUE)})
X2010 X2011 X2012 
    3     4     4

Or, you can also do the same job using 'colSums()' as shown in the below:

 > colSums(status=="I")
2010 2011 2012
    3    4    4
 >

I hope this helps.
