I have a R data frame that looks like this:
Country Property Value
Canada Capital Ottawa
Canada Population 38
Canada Language1 French
Canada Language2 English
United States Capital Washington
United States Population 280
United States Language1 English
United States Language2 NA
I want to re-arrange this so that it looks like this:
Country Capital Population Language1 Language2
Canada Ottawa 38 French English
United States Washington 280 English NA
Is there any way to do this transformation ? Thanks.
As per Paul Hiemstra's comment:
the reshape2
package's dcast
will do this nicely:
dcast(data=yourdataframe, Country~Property, value.var='Value')
If you've got duplicated values in there though it will try to aggregate them using length
as a default, which isn't what you want!
