How to Correctly Use Subset and Foverlaps to Join Dataframes with Overlapping Times in R
Subset and foverlaps can be used to join two dataframes where the start and end times overlap. However, when using foverlaps it is assumed that all columns that you want to use for matching should be included in the first dataframe. In your case, you were close but missed adding aaletters as a key before setting the key with setkey. The corrected code would look like this: # expected result: 7 rows # setDT(aa) # setDT(prbb) # setkey(aa, aaletters, aastart, aastop) # <-- added aalatters as first key !
