Hi, Since you mentioned filtering the daily maximum temperature, this may help: datos<-read.table(text=" X, Ta, HR, RS, v 1/1/2010 1:00:00,5.28,100,0,2.3 1/1/2010 6:00:00,5.45,100,0,2.5 1/1/2010 11:00:00,5.51,100,0,1.1 2/1/2010 1:00:00,5.33,100,0,2.1 2/1/2010 6:00:00,5.48,100,0,2.3 2/1/2010 11:00:00,5.64,100,0,2.4 3/1/2010 1:00:00,5.12,100,0,2.0 3/1/2010 6:00:00,5.40,100,0,2.3 3/1/2010 11:00:00,5.32,100,0,1.7 ",sep=",",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE) library(zoo) z<-zoo(datos[,-1],order.by=as.POSIXct(datos[,1],format="%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S"))
