Dear Jeff, Thank you so much. I ran the code but got an error message. I then try to run them line by line. The problem is in: dta$datetime <- with( dta, as.POSIXct(ISOdatetime(year, month,day,hour,0,0))) Error in with(dta, as.POSIXct(ISOdatetime(year, month, day, hour, 0, 0))) : object 'dta' not found Thanks for another time.

Dear Jeff, Please hold. It is begging to work. There was an error somewhere. One ")" is missing and as I went back to check the lines one by one with cursor, I stubbed on non matching bracket. I completed, run the code again and got some result. Will get back to you once I am through. Thanks in a hurry.

Dear Jeff, One more problem please. When I used as.Date(ISOdate(dta$year, dta$month, dta$day,dta$hour)) to handle date, I could use text(as.Date("2005-03-13"),-9,"b") to label my plot. Now that I am using as.POSIXct(ISOdatetime(year, month,day,hour,0,0))), can you please tell me how to text "b" on the point corresponding with 1960-05-04 09:00:00 on my plot. Many thanks for your extra time. Best wishes Ogbos On Fri, Feb 15, 2019 at 8:25 AM Ogbos Okike <giftedlife2014 at gmail.com> wrote:> > Dear Jeff, > > Please hold. > It is begging to work.
