Hello All
Have 2 tables
dt1:
start end kwh10min

2013-04-03 02:57:16 UTC 2013-04-03 05:29:32 UTC 0.45
dt2: start and end are 10 minute interval blocks spanning 2013-4-1 00:00:00
to 2013-04-04

I want to add the column 3 of dt1 to map as long as the start and end time
are within the 10 minute blocks and keep appending the columns

ideally the output should be
4/1/2013 0:00
4/1/2013 0:10
0.05 0

4/1/2013 0:10
4/1/2013 0:20

4/1/2013 0:40

0.05 0.01

4/1/2013 0:50
4/1/2013 1:00
0.05 0.01
I tried
setkey(dums,start,end)
setkey(map,start,end)
foverlaps(map,dums,type="within",nomatch=0L)

I keep getting the error
Error in foverlaps(map, dums, type = "within", nomatch = 0L) :
  All entries in column start should be <= corresponding entries in column
end in data.table 'y'
