[R] date

What is the error message?  What does 'str(MyData)' show?  I read your
data in and it worked fine.

> x <- read.table(textConnection("  name value      times
+ 1   A1     2 2006-05-12
+ 2   A2     3 2006-05-16
+ 3   A3     1 2006-05-12
+ 4   A4     4 2006-05-12
+ 5   A5     2 2006-05-16
+ 6   A6     1 2006-05-12"), header=TRUE)
