To add more clarity to my question
My data pp2 is a list
(pp2[[1]])
RIC Trade.Date Close.Price Currency.Code Convertion.Rate New.Price
ABCD.SZ 2008/02/29 15.30 CNY 0.1408
2.154240
ABCD.SZ 2008/01/31 15.27 CNY 0.1392
2.040048
ABCD.SZ 2007/11/30 11.07 CNY 0.1357
1.502199
ABCD.SZ 2007/10/31 10.89 CNY 0.1340
1.459260
ABCD.SZ 2007/09/28 12.77 CNY 0.1334
1.703518
(pp2[[2]])
RIC Trade.Date Close.Price Currency.Code Convertion.Rate
New.Price
PQRS.SZ 2008/02/29 9.27 CNY 0.1408 1.305216
PQRS.SZ 2008/01/31 8.07 CNY 0.1392 1.123344
PQRS.SZ 2007/12/31 8.76 CNY 0.1371 1.200996
PQRS.SZ 2007/11/30 6.43 CNY 0.1357 0.872551
PQRS.SZ 2007/10/31 6.80 CNY 0.1340 0.911200
PQRS.SZ 2007/09/28 7.94 CNY 0.1334 1.059196
And so on till (pp2[[1244]])
Each of pp2[[i]] is a data frame. For each date I need to find the range
of New.Price across the list
i.e.for 2008/02/29 it would be
max(pp2[[i]]$New.Price[1])-min(pp2[[i]]$New.Price[1]) where i ranges
from 1 to 1244
Thank you,
Ravi

i think it's a dataframe ( it looks
like one ) or convert it to
one if it's not and then I think below should
work.
temp<-lapply(split(pp2,pp2$Trade.Date), function(.df)
{
data.frame(.df$Trade.Date[1],range(.df$New.Price))
})
result<-do.call(rbind,temp)
test it though because i didn't.
