[R] replace values but different replacement length
Hi, have anybody a hint/help how it's possible replace i.e. the NA values from BL02DATE with non-Missing values from BLOCKED and vice versa. Both variables are with an id in a 188.249 rows data.frame and my fr function didn't count the NA's. Many thanks Christian>>fr(BL02DATE)Count Prcnt 1 140660 84.6 2 25589 15.4 Total 166249 100.0>>fr(BLOCKED)Count Prcnt 1 151982 85.4 2 25976 14.6 Total 177958 100.0>>match02$BL02DATE[is.na(match02$BL02DATE)] <- match02$BLOCKEDWarning message: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length
What are the lengths of
match02$BL02DATE[is.na(match02$BL02DATE)] and match02$BLOCKED?
In particular, have you considered the following:
match02$BL02DATE[is.na(match02$BL02DATE)] <-
match02$BLOCKED[is.na(match02$BL02DATE)]
hope this helps. spencer graves
