Indeed! Great stuff Michael.

I suppose that error ("Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘xts’") is yet another valid bug (sigh), if you wouldn't mind filing please Sam.

Thanks,
Matthew

From the help for data.table::last

If x is a data.table, the last row as a one row data.table. Otherwise, whatever xts::last returns.


calling lapply(.SD, last) will call last on each column in .SD. Columns within a data.table aren't data.tables thus `xts::last` is called. xts is on the suggests list for data.table,

you could use

install.packages('data.table, dependencies = 'Suggests')

or manually installed xts.

OR

frame[, last(.SD), by = id]

would work without needing xts

as would

frame[, .SD[.N], by = id]

or without having to construct .SD (which is time consuming)

frame[frame[, .I[.N],by = id]$V1]

or

setkey(frame, id)

frame[unique(id), mult = 'last']

Subject: [datatable-help] there is no package called ‘xts’

Hi,
I got this:

dt <- frame[, lapply(.SD, last) ,by=id]
Finding groups (bysameorder=TRUE) ... done in 0.126secs. bysameorder=TRUE and o__ is length 0 Optimized j from 'lapply(.SD, last)' to 'list(last(country), last(language), last(browser), last(platform), last(uatype), last(behavior))' Starting dogroups ... Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called ‘xts’ Calls: [ -> [.data.table -> last -> :: -> getExportedValue -> asNamespace -> getNamespace -> tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne -> <Anonymous>

the help for last does mention xts, but I don't have it installed.
do I need to?
