I have tData as below. I need to set the names with the headers from the first row in sHeaders Sorry .. forgot how to set the names from row in another data frame .. pls advise.
names(tData) = sHeaders[1,] does not work correctly Also, why doesn't drop.levels(sHeaders) not work? dput(tData) structure(list(V1 = structure(c(3L, 1L, 1L, 2L), .Label = c("P H Ravi Kumar", "Rahul Kumar Singh", "Ramu GSV"), class = "factor"), V2 = structure(c(1L, 3L, 3L, 2L), .Label = c("05/10/2010", "09/09/2010", "30/09/2010" ), class = "factor"), V3 = structure(c(2L, 1L, 1L, 2L), .Label = c("B", "S"), class = "factor"), V4 = structure(c(2L, 3L, 3L, 1L), .Label = c("2120", "4000", "11000"), class = "factor"), V5 = structure(c(1L, 2L, 2L, 1L), .Label = c("", "0.01"), class = "factor"), V6 = structure(c(2L, 3L, 3L, 1L), .Label = c("765", "1000", "11000"), class = "factor"), V7 = structure(c(1L, 2L, 2L, 1L), .Label = c("", "0.01"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("V1", "V2", "V3", "V4", "V5", "V6", "V7"), row.names = 5:8, class = "data.frame") dput(sHeaders) structure(list(V1 = structure(1L, .Label = c("Name of Acquirer / Seller", "Qty", "Ramu GSV"), class = "factor"), V2 = structure(3L, .Label = c("05/10/2010", "%", "Transaction Date"), class = "factor"), V3 = structure(1L, .Label = c("Buy /Sale", "Qty", "S"), class = "factor"), V4 = structure(3L, .Label = c("4000", "%", "No.of Shares Transacted"), class = "factor"), V5 = structure(2L, .Label = c("", "Holding after Transaction"), class = "factor"), V6 = structure(NA_integer_, .Label = "1000", class = "factor"), V7 = structure(NA_integer_, .Label = "", class = "factor")), .Names = c("V1", "V2", "V3", "V4", "V5", "V6", "V7"), row.names = 3L, class = "data.frame") Thanks very much. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
