Loop in R Script

Hi,

 

I need help with a code for R script. I need to use Arima. 

 

I have 3 years of sales data on month level, for X number of store and Y number of categories. 

 

I need to create a forecast per store, per category for the next 3 months (on month level), and I need the data to be written to a table so that I can make measures using this data. 

 

I can get it to run for one store, one category, but I need R to somehow do a loop, so that I get the forecast for each store and each category. So, when finished with the first category for Store 1, I need it to do the same for category 2 - Store 1. When it is done with all categories for Store 1, it needs to move on to store 2 and do the same for all categories.

 

Example of data:

 

Month

Store Name

Category

01.2018

Store 1

Category 1

01-2017

Store 1

Category 1

01-2016

Store 1

Category 1

01.2018

Store 1

Category 2

01-2017

Store 1

Category 2

01-2016

Store 1

Category 2

01.2018

Store 2

Category 1

01-2017

Store 2

Category 1

01-2016

Store 2

Category 1

 

 Thank you in Advance.
