Count the number of unique days

Hi All, 

I am working on a script to that is producing a lightning density map (numer
of lightning flashes per area) based on a data set containing:
date(year/month/day), time(hh/mm/ss), latitude, and longitude for each
lightning flash. The attaches script is producing this map using a hexagonal
grid. I am wondering if it is also possible to count the number of unique
days in each grid cell, in order to produce a map with the number of day
with lightning. 

script: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51871539/lightning_density.r
data sample: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51871539/lightning_test.csv

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers,
Bogdan

Certainly it is possible. One way might involve using the "unique" function based on location and date before attaching the data to your SPDF.
