Dear Thomas, As others have noted, it's not obvious why one needs to use dplyr. Here's a solution in base R (with your original data in D): > D1 <- cbind(Location="P1A0B0D", D[, 1:2]) > D2 <- cbind(Location="P190.90D", D[, c(1, 3)]) > colnames(D1)[3] <- colnames(D2)[3] <- "Measurement" > rbind(D1[, c(2, 1, 3)], D2[, c(2, 1, 3)]) Time_stamp Location Measurement 1 Jun-10 10:34 P1A0B0D -0.000208 2 Jun-10 10:51 P1A0B0D -0.000228 3 Jun-10 11:02 P1A0B0D -0.000234 4 Jun-10 11:17 P1A0B0D -0.000220 5 Jun-10 11:25 P1A0B0D -0.000238 6 Jun-10 10:34 P190.90D -0.000195 7 Jun-10 10:51 P190.90D -0.000188 8 Jun-10 11:02 P190.90D -0.000204 9 Jun-10 11:17 P190.90D -0.000205 10 Jun-10 11:25 P190.90D -0.000195 It would be simple to generalize this as a function. I hope this helps, John On 2022-06-21 12:22 p.m., Thomas Subia wrote:> Colleagues: > > The header of my data set is: > Time_stamp P1A0B0D P190-90D > Jun-10 10:34 -0.000208 -0.000195 > Jun-10 10:51 -0.000228 -0.000188 > Jun-10 11:02 -0.000234 -0.000204 > Jun-10 11:17 -0.00022 -0.000205 > Jun-10 11:25 -0.000238 -0.000195 > > I want my data set to resemble: > > Time_stamp Location Measurement > Jun-10 10:34 P1A0B0D -0.000208 > Jun-10 10:51 P1A0B0D -0.000228 > Jun-10 11:02 P1A0B0D -0.000234 > Jun-10 11:17 P1A0B0D -0.00022 > Jun-10 11:25 P1A0B0D -0.000238 > Jun-10 10:34 P190-90D -0.000195 > Jun-10 10:51 P190-90D -0.000188 > Jun-10 11:02 P190-90D -0.000204 > Jun-10 11:17 P190-90D -0.000205 > Jun-10 11:25 P190-90D -0.000195 > > I need some advice on how to do this using dplyr. > > V/R > Thomas Subia > > FM Industries, Inc. - NGK Electronics, USA | www.fmindustries.com > 221 Warren Ave, Fremont, CA 94539 > > "En Dieu nous avons confiance, tous les autres doivent apporter des donnees" > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.-- John Fox, Professor Emeritus McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada web: https://socialsciences.mcmaster.ca/jfox/
