Hi, I'm sure there is a pretty simple answer to this but I have had my head buried in the R book and on help pages for a while now and I've not made any progress.
In simple terms: I have 2 columns of data, column A and column B. I want to create a new column (C) and fill it with the largest value from of A or B on each row. So I want C to contain A if B>A and C to contain B if A=>B Like I said I have tried to look for an answer and I'm sure there is one (or many) out there but I am looking in the wrong places or for the wrong terms so I would really appreciate this help! Thanks, Rob. (I promise that once I have mastered R- hopefully in the near future- I will make up for my sins of asking a basic Q by answering many on here!) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/New-column-of-data-filled-with-the-larger-value-from-2-columns-tp3940020p3940020.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
