myDF2 is a well curated subset of myDF1. Some rows in the two datasets match
based on "studyno", one may find that values are missing in
myDF1$pf_mcl or the values are wrong.
All I want to do is identify a matching row in myDF2 and populate myDF1$pf_mcl
with the value in myDF2$pf_mcl. If a row does not match based on ?studyno?, the
value should remain the same.
It's probably worth mentioning, the two data frames have other columns...I
have selected a few for example purposes.

[R] Populate one data frame with values from another dataframe for rows that match
Your example used one distinct studyno in DF1 and one distinct pf_mcl in
DF2. I think that makes it hard to see what is going on, but maybe I
completely misunderstand the problem. In any case, let's redefine myDF1
and myDF2. Note that myDF1 contains a studyno not in myDF2 and vice versa.
myDF1 <- structure(list(studyno = c("J1000/9", "J895/7",
"J931/6", "J666/6",
"J1000/9", "J1000/9"), date = structure(c(17123, 17127,
17135,
17144, 17148, 17155), class = "Date"), pf_mcl = c(NA_integer_,
2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, NA_integer_
), year = c(2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016, 2016)), .Names =
c("studyno",
"date", "pf_mcl", "year"), row.names = c(NA, 6L),
class = "data.frame")
myDF2 <- structure(list(studyno = c("J740/4", "J1000/9",
"J895/7", "J931/6",
"J609/1", "J941/3"), pf_mcl = c(101L, 102L, 103L, 104L,
105L, 106L)),
.Names = c("studyno", "pf_mcl"), row.names = c(NA, 6L),
class "data.frame")
m <- merge(myDF1, myDF2, by="studyno", all.x=TRUE, all.y=FALSE,
suffixes=c(".raw", ".curated"))
The results are:
> myDF1
studyno date pf_mcl year
1 J1000/9 2016-11-18 NA 2016
2 J895/7 2016-11-22 2 2016
3 J931/6 2016-11-30 3 2016
4 J666/6 2016-12-09 4 2016
5 J1000/9 2016-12-13 5 2016
6 J1000/9 2016-12-20 NA 2016> myDF2
studyno pf_mcl
1 J740/4 101
2 J1000/9 102
3 J895/7 103
4 J931/6 104
5 J609/1 105
6 J941/3 106> m
studyno date pf_mcl.raw year pf_mcl.curated
1 J1000/9 2016-11-18 NA 2016 102
2 J1000/9 2016-12-13 5 2016 102
3 J1000/9 2016-12-20 NA 2016 102
4 J666/6 2016-12-09 4 2016 NA
5 J895/7 2016-11-22 2 2016 103
6 J931/6 2016-11-30 3 2016 104
Now your problem is to combine the columns pf_mcl.raw and pf_mcl.curated in
the way you want. ifelse() may be useful for that.

[R] Populate one data frame with values from another dataframe for rows that match
Dear @William<mailto:wdunlap at tibco.com>, thanks for the feedback. I
have tested it on the larger dataset and noticed that it created two variables,
pf_raw and pf_curated.
The output we were looking for, was one that takes the variable pf_mcl in
curated dataset and replaces pf_mcl in matching rows within the raw dataset.
@Eric<mailto:ericjberger at gmail.com>?s solution was able to achieve
that. Nonetheless, we do appreciate your solution.
Regards
