Question on Merge/Lookup
I need to merge three datasets and don't know how. If I were using SQL, I
would use df3, look up the characteristics of each date in df1 and the value
for each observation in df2.
df1 - unique list of Dates and characteristics of those dates
Date, YYYYMM, YYYYWW, DOW
df2 - the raw data
Date, Place, Value
df3 - all posibile combinations of Date + Place (via
expand.grid(unique(df2$Date),unique(df2$Place))
Date, Place
I need to end up with:
Date, YYYYMM, YYYYWW, DOW, PLace, Value (plug 0 if combo doesn't exist in
raw data).
Appreciate any help!
