Thank you for the email. The data is unbalanced, meaning that some days are
missing. So the sequence of days could be something like Tuesday,
Wednesday, Friday, Monday. The diff function would produce 1, 2, 3. But I
would like it to produce 1, 2, 1 since there is really only 1 day between
Friday and Monday. Thank you. Geoff
