Sent by: r-help-boun...@r-project.org Dear all It is difficult to use round(..., digits=2) on a data frame since one has to first take care to remove non-numeric variables such as 'character' or 'factor': > head(round(iris, 2)) Error in Math.data.frame(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, : non-numeric variable in data frame: Species > head(round(iris[1:4], 2)) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 Is there an elegant way to use round() on a data frame containing 'character' variables without removing them?
