Hello,

I have a data frame in R with the following structure.

> testData
            date exch.code comm.code     oi
1     1997-12-30       CBT         1 468710
2     1997-12-23       CBT         1 457165
3     1997-12-19       CBT         1 461520
4     1997-12-16       CBT         1 444190
5     1997-12-09       CBT         1 446190
6     1997-12-02       CBT         1 443085
....
    77827 2004-10-26      NYME       967  10038
    77828 2004-10-19      NYME       967   9910
    77829 2004-10-12      NYME       967  10195
    77830 2004-09-28      NYME       967   9970
    77831 2004-08-31      NYME       967   9155
    77832 2004-08-24      NYME       967   8655

What I want to do is produce a table the shows for a given date and commodity the total oi across every exchange code. So, the rows would be made up of

unique(testData$date)

and the columns would be

unique(testData$comm.code)

and each cell would be the total oi over all exch.codes on a given day.

Thanks,
