To do this in R you could learn to use the "sqldf"-package since you seem familiar with that syntax. I'm not and so it's rank speculation on my part that such an expression would be meaningful in one or another flavor of SQL. Or you could use either `match` or `merge`, assuming the dates of the various datasets are congruent. > > all the dates are in yr-month-day format. The "YYYY-MM-DD" format is the standard format in R.
