Hi,
May be this helps:
Data1<-read.table(text='
TYPE VALUE
"Residential-future" 2.2
"Open space-managed" 1.4
"Mixed use" 5.2
"Residential-existing" 4.2
"Residential-existing" 7.1
"Residential-future" 5.2
"Residential-existing" 1.2
"mixed use" 4.5
',sep="",header=TRUE)
library(reshape)
Data1[,1]<-combine_factor(Data1[,1],c(2,2,3,4,5))
levels(Data1[,1])
#[1] "Mixed use" "Open space-managed" "Residential-existing"
#[4] "Residential-future"
Data1[,1]
#[1] Residential-future Open space-managed Mixed use
#[4] Residential-existing Residential-existing Residential-future
#[7] Residential-existing Mixed use
#4 Levels: Mixed use Open space-managed ... Residential-future

Sorry, this is what it should be:
DATA=
TYPE VALUE
Residential - future" 2.2
"Open space - managed" 1.4
"Mixed use" 5.2
"Residential - existing" 4.2
"Residential - existing" 7.1
"Residential - future" 5.2
"Residential - existing" 1.2
"mixed use" 4.5
Which gives me these levels=
Levels: Mixed use Open space - managed Residential - existing Residential -
future, mixed use
I need to combine mixed use and Mixed use into one category
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks again
