Dear list, given is the following data frame df():
Number Place Start End 1 218024740787 HHO 5 263 2008-01-02 00:21:14 2008-01-03 15:25:16 2 218024740787 HHO 5 263 2008-01-02 00:21:14 2008-01-02 00:21:14 3 318039091794 HHO 5 263 2008-01-02 00:21:14 2008-01-02 13:22:54 4 318039091794 HHO 5 263 2008-01-02 00:21:14 2008-01-02 00:21:14 5 318039379900 HHO 1 104 2008-01-02 06:45:01 2008-01-02 09:15:23 Now, I want to count the number of equal values of column "Start" but I also want the other columns to be preserved. Using: rle(as.character(df$Start)) -> m n <- data.frame(m$values, m$lengths) produces a list of items according to their frequency of the Start point: m.values m.lengths 1 2008-01-02 00:21:14 4 2 2008-01-02 06:45:01 1 I want now also other columns to be in this new data frame. It should look like that: Number Place m.values m.lengths 1 218024740787 HHO 5 263 2008-01-02 00:21:14 4 2 318039379900 HHO 1 104 2008-01-02 06:45:01 1 Does anybody can help me with this? Thanking you in advance!
