Hi Rich, Thank you for your answer. The sentences are strings (likert scale: 'the situation is highly applicable to me' etc - in Dutch), or column labels; it may be confusing as it is in Dutch. Below I show you part of the dataframe with my annotation added (string/column lable) to give you an idea. I need to change the likert strings into numeric (1:5). And this is a challenge somehow. With dplyr, plyr it did not work. After I have the numeric version then I can stack them as suggested by David.
