I am just assuming this can be done, but I have not gotten close to making it happen. I have a data file with about 1 million rows with 1470 unique subjects. Each row represents a small set of observations made on a specific date for a single subject. I would like to transform the data so that I have an R object with a single entry for each subject and start date and vectors for the

Patrick, ## Run the following script an notice the different values of the dataframe "data" in each instance. # I understand you have done something like the following: data <- data.frame(COL1 = c("6/1/14", "7/1/14"), COL2 = c("5/1/15", "5/1/15"), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) data$Date_Flag <- ifelse(data$COL2 >

A small example data set that illustrates your question will be of great value to those trying to help. This appears to be a transformation that you are wanting to do (timestamp to units of time) so a data representing what you have (dput() is handy for this) and one representing what you want to have with any guidance regarding how to use the other columns in you data set (e.g., the event(0/1)).
