Hi,

Not sure what you want to do, but take a look at ?duplicated, ?unique, and maybe ?aggregate; it might be what you're looking for.

Hello everyone,

I have a data set like this:

head( fish_transect)
   ID_TRANSECT ID_PROJECT   DE_ZONE DE_LOCALITY DE_SECTOR MES
1          42         MB Tarragona    Creixell Control I   9
2          42         MB Tarragona    Creixell Control I   9
3          42         MB Tarragona    Creixell Control I   9
4          42         MB Tarragona    Creixell Control I   9
5          42         MB Tarragona    Creixell Control I   9
6          42         MB Tarragona    Creixell Control I   9
                ID_SPECIES         WEIGHT  SIZE   N    FAMILIA
1 Spondyliosoma cantharus    15.64     10     1    Sparidae
2  Symphodus melanocercus  11.21     10      1   Labridae
3       Diplodus vulgaris         30.20     10      2   Sparidae
4       Diplodus vulgaris         52.24     12      2   Sparidae
5         Diplodus sargus        221.41    14     5    Sparidae
6      Diplodus annularis         3.47       6      1    Sparidae

I have been trying to duplicate the rows where N>  1, that is I want a row
for each animal. Right now as you can see I have for example 5 D. sargus
which are 14 cm length and so on. How can I get 1 row for each animal? I've
been trying the reshape function without success. I also tried in access but
couldn't do it either.

Thanks a lot,

Lucia
