Hi André,

try this:

df1 <- data.frame(x1 = rep(1:3, each=3), x2=letters[1:9])

dfs <- split(df1, df1$x1)

df2 <- data.frame(sapply(dfs, FUN="[[", "x2"))
colnames(df2) <- paste("d", unique(df1$x1), sep="")
df2

Hello,

Can someone give me hint to change a data.frame.
I want to split a column in more columns depending on the value of a other
column.
Thanks for the reaction,
Andre

Example:
dat
   x1 x2
1  1  a
2  1  b
3  1  c
4  2  d
5  2  e
6  2  f
7  3  g
8  3  h
9  3  i

in

dur
   d1 d2 d3
1  a  d  g
2  b  e  h
3  c  f  i
