sorry my bad, here is the edited version: so the data frame is this:
df=data.frame( eye_problemsdisorders_f6148_0_1=c("A","C","D",NA,"D","A","C",NA,"B","A"), eye_problemsdisorders_f6148_0_2=c("B","C",NA,"A","C","B",NA,NA,"A","D"), eye_problemsdisorders_f6148_0_3=c("C","A","D","D","B","A",NA,NA,"A","B"), eye_problemsdisorders_f6148_0_4=c("D","D",NA,"B","A","C",NA,"C","A","B"), eye_problemsdisorders_f6148_0_5=c("C","C",NA,"D","B","C",NA,"D","D","B") and I would need to put inside the column which would be named "case" and values inside would be: 1,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1 so "case" column is where value "A" can be found in any column.
