seq(as.Date("2001/1/1"),as.Date("2010/1/1"),"years")
seq(as.Date("2001/1/1"),as.Date("2010/1/1"),"weeks")
seq(as.Date("2001/1/1"),as.Date("2010/1/1"),"days")
why there is no
seq(as.Date("2001/1/1"),as.Date("2010/1/1"),"quarters")

Just use months, and take every 3rd one: x <- seq(as.Date("2001/1/1"),as.Date("2010/1/1"),"months") x[seq_along(x) %% 3 == 1]
Hi, I also would like to use quarters. I think a work around would be to just label each record in the dataframe by its quarter. i.e. you add a factor called 'Quarter' with four levels (Q1 to Q4) for each row and you assign the level based on the month of the date. You can easily do this with as.Date and as.character. Pancho Mulongeni Research Assistant PharmAccess Foundation 1 Fouch? Street Windhoek West Windhoek Namibia ?
