Re: [R] Assigning rank based on total count

Here's a way to get to your solution, but it's not very pretty: testdfr <- data.frame(POB=c("Oregon","Oregon","Oregon","New York","California","California")) nstates <- length(unique(testdfr$POB)) testdfr$ POBR <- c(nstates:1)[table(testdfr$POB)][testdfr$POB] greetings, Remko ---

[R] Assigning rank based on total count

Hi all, I am using ACS micro data (PUMS) with one of the columns as a factor for the place of birth (POBPF). I would like to create a column (POBR) containing a rank corresponding to the place of the observation in the POBPF rankings. For example, if a person is from Oregon, Oregon is the
