with(price.lookup, list(Price_Line)) is a list! Use
unique(unlist(with(price.lookup, list(Price_Line))))

Subject: [R] Difficulty with UNIQUE
I need to extract labels from Excel input data to use as dimnames later on.
I can successfully read the Excel data into three matrices:
capacity <- read.csv("c:\\R\\data\\capacity.csv")
price.lookup <- read.csv("c:\\R\\data\\price lookup.csv") sales
<- read.csv("c:\\R\\data\\sales.csv")
The values to be used as dimnames are duplicated in the matrices.
For example, I would like to create
dimnames(out.table) [[3]] <- c("a", "b", "c")
by not explicitly entering the first three letters of the alphabet but by
something like
dimnames(out.table) [[3]] <- pl.names
but I cannot generate unique values with
> pl.names <- unique(with(price.lookup, list(Price_Line))) pl.names
[[1]]
[1] a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a c
c c c c c c [44] c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c b b
b b b b b b b b b b b b [87] b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
Levels: a b c
Can someone please suggest how I can grab "a", "b",
"c" from
(with(price.lookup, list(Price_Line))
?
Thank you,
