Okay I got the data but you seem to have an undefined variable in wavg. You write : ddply (dataread , .(Sector, FISCALYEAR), summarise,WROE=wavg(ROE, MKTCAP))) There is no MKTCAP in the data.frame. Also there is one too many ) in the equation: I think you mean : ddply (dataread , .(Sector, FISCALYEAR), summarise,WROE=wavg(ROE, MKTCAP)) Have you left out a equation that calculates MKTCAP?

Hi John,
The sample size is huge involving 10,000 + firms. I have put a

changed so that firms cannot be identified due to proprietary data
set, also EPS is not required and removed from the dataset)

Definitely a no-no in R-help. :) We really need some representative sample data to play with. See https://github.com/hadley/devtools/wiki/Reproducibility for some general pointers on how to compose a good question. The fact that you included the code you are using was excellent but without some data it is rather useless. The easiest way to supply data is to use the dput() function. Example with your file named "testfile": dput(testfile) Then copy the output and paste into your email. This is what I did with your data that I pasted into my email . I added the dat1 <- to it. For large data sets, you can just supply a representative sample. Usually, dput(head(testfile, 100)) will be sufficient. I hope this is of some help.

I could try subseting the data into different sectors and compute the weighted average which doesn't look like an elegant solution and would defeat the purpose of ddply I coudn't think of properly using melt and cast functions to solve this issue.
