<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have a data.table DT with one of the column named x and I other names, let's say, a1, a2, ... aN. The key of this data.table is made of a1...aN.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Later on, I aggregate my DT with x like this:<br />agg = DT[ , list(m=mean(y), c=length(y)), by = c("x") ]<br /><br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The problem is that "x" has 331 unique values as found by length(unique(DT$x)) but my result "agg" only has 119 rows. I tried by changing the key to "x" alone but the problem persists. My DT table has a few millions rows by the way.</div>
