And a screenshot so you can see it at a glance.

I originally had the Date and Sales columns. By using these lines of code I was able to get the Day and Month columns.

time_series_df_sample$Day <- wday(time_series_df_sample$Date, label=TRUE, abbr=FALSE)

time_series_df_sample <- time_series_df_sample %>%
  mutate(Month = floor_date(Date, 'month'))

I'm trying to create another column called Day of Week Position in Month, or some other name. For Date == 2022-02-01, for example, Day of Week Position in Month should say 1 because this is the first Tuesday in the month and where Date == 2022-02-08 it should say 2 because this is the second Tuesday in the month. So this new column will always have values 1-5.

The tally() function might not be the right approach, as least as I'm using it. It just says 4 or 5 all the way through, except for the first month where I don't have as much data. And the min() function isn't doing the job - it just returns the day of week value.

time_series_and_other_stories_fl %>%
  group_by(Month, Day) %>%
  tally()

time_series_and_other_stories_fl %>%
  group_by(Month, Day) %>%
  mutate(min = min(Day))

CodePudding user response:

out <- time_series_df_sample%>%
  group_by(Month)%>%
  arrange(Date)%>%
  mutate(`Day of Week Position in Month`=ave(Day==Day,Day,FUN=cumsum))
