[R] Setting all rows of a certain level to NA in a factor

Hello everyone.
My task is set certain levels (that is all rows of that level) as missing values
in factor B20_A.
Excuse the notation, it happens to be a question number in a survey.
So I thought it would work easily by defining the levels
and their labels using the 'factor' function.
> levels(B20_A)[1] "   " "5.6" "No " "Yes"
#as you can see 'No' is a level.
#I below define the levels, I expect 5.6 and blank to be set as NA
B20_A<-factor(B20_A,levels=c('No','Yes'),labels=c('No','Yes'))
summary(B20_A)

  No  Yes NA's 
   0  149  580 
to my surprise, 'No' is also set as NA, why is this happening?

I am a frequent SPSS user and I am surprised that this operation does not seem
to be so straight forward in R.
Thanks
my object is defined below.

No it is not. 'No ' i.e. No followed by a space is a level.
Change "No " to "No" in your object.

[R] Setting all rows of a certain level to NA in a factor

Hello,

Try the following.


b <- factor(ifelse(!B20_A %in% c("No ", "Yes"), NA,
B20_A), labels =
c("No ", "Yes"))
str(b)


Hope this helps,
