Hi, It is really hard to help much without some example data. If you create a minimal example, we can probably help more. My guess is that the data is not in the proper format to do what you want. Take a look at the results of str(YourData). Whatever you are doing boxplots by (example males and females; small, medium, large companies, etc.) is best stored as a factor (the storage type will show up when you run str() on your dataset). Here is an example of one way to create boxplots in R using a built in data set:
boxplot(Sepal.Length ~ Species, data = iris) Cheers, Josh On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 2:44 PM, plog397 <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi I am doing a project at school for another company.
