Hello, I have a dataframe
ID1 ID2 A1 B3 A1 B4 A1 B3 A1 B3 A2 B1 A2 B1 A2 B4 A3 B2 A3 B2 A5 B1 A5 B1 A5 B6 A5 B4 A6 B2 I want to add extra columns to the dataframe CountID1 and CountID2 which is the actual count of values such as A1 etc ie ID1 ID2 CountID1 CountID2 A1 B3 4 3 A1 B4 4 4 A1 B3 4 3 A1 B3 4 3 A2 B1 3 4 A2 B1 3 4 A2 B4 3 3 A3 B2 2 3 A3 B2 2 3 A5 B1 4 4 A5 B1 4 4 A5 B6 4 1 A5 B4 4 4 A6 B2 1 3 I know this can be done by first creating temporary aggregate dataframes then merging with the original. Is there an easier way if i want to calculate many aggregates without having to merge many temp tables. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Adding-columns-of-Aggregates-to-existing-dataframe-tp18039838p18039838.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
