Here is a base R solution: "dat" is the data frame as in Robert's solution.
> aggregate(dat[,3:6], by= dat[1], FUN = sum, na.rm = TRUE) STUDENT_ID PO1M PO1T PO2M PO2T 1 AA15285 287.80 350 37 50 2 AA15286 240.45 330 41 50 Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." -- Opus (aka Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip ) On Mon, Oct 15, 2018 at 6:42 PM Robert Baer <rb...@atsu.edu> wrote: > > > On 10/11/2018 5:12 PM, roslinazairimah zakaria wrote: > > Dear r-users, > > > > I have this data: > > > > structure(list(STUDENT_ID = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, > > 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L), .Label = c("AA15285", "AA15286"), class = "factor"), > > COURSE_CODE = structure(c(1L, 2L, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 2L, 3L, > > 4L, 5L, 6L), .Label = c("BAA1113", "BAA1322", "BAA2113", > > "BAA2513", "BAA2713", "BAA2921", "BAA4273", "BAA4513"), class = > > "factor"), > > PO1M = c(155.7, 48.9, 83.2, NA, NA, NA, 48.05, 68.4, 41.65, > > 82.35, NA), PO1T = c(180, 70, 100, NA, NA, NA, 70, 100, 60, > > 100, NA), PO2M = c(NA, NA, NA, 37, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, > > 41), PO2T = c(NA, NA, NA, 50, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, 50), > > X = c(NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA), X.1 = c(NA, > > NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA)), .Names = c("STUDENT_ID", > > "COURSE_CODE", "PO1M", "PO1T", "PO2M", "PO2T", "X", "X.1"), class = > > "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, > > -11L)) > > > > I want to combine the same Student ID and add up all the values for PO1M, > > PO1T,...,PO2T obtained by the same ID. > > > > How do I do that? > > Thank you for any help given. > > > oops! Forgot to clean up after my cut and paste.
