It seems that your column names are not sequentially arranged, I guess, If so u just reorder them and do it your way...it will work.. for example, colnames(data)[2]<–"weekly.returns" ## sometimes u can use like this as well, if u want to assign at last most column ## in your data frame ## names(data)[ncol(data)]<–"weekly.returns" and colnames(data)[1]<– "date" I hope it will work for your bug!!! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-create-the-data-frame-tp4636111p4636117.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
