TY Uwe,

So I will have to write a line for each condition? Right?

In fact I was trying to do something with apply in one line, but couldn't 
achieve any result. In fact, all my transformation will be multiplying one 
object by a specific number according to the value of df$x.

In that case:

mult <- c(AA = 10, BB = 25)

Then:


df$y <- df$y * mult[df$x]

Dear list,

n00b question, but still can't find any easy answer.

Here is a df:


Change

df<-data.frame(cbind(x=c("AA","BB","CC","AA"),y=1:4))

to

   df<- data.frame(x = c("AA","BB","CC","AA"), y = 1:4)

to make your object a sensible data.frame.



df
     x y
1 AA 1
2 BB 2
3 CC 3
4 AA 4


I want to modify this df this way :
   if df$x=="AA" then df$y=df$y*10

df$y[df$x=="AA"]<- df$y[df$x=="AA"] * 25

...


Uwe Ligges


   if df$x=="BB" then df$y=df$y*25




and so on with other conditions.

TY for any help.
