Hello,
I am trying to reshape a data.frame in wide format into long format. Although in the reshape R documentation they programmer list some examples I am struggling to bring my data.frame into long and then transform it back into wide format. The data.frame I look at is: df <- data.frame(ID1 = c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1), ID2 = c("A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "C", "C", "C"), ID3 = c("E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E", "E"), X1 = c(1,4,3,5,2,4,6,4,2), X2 = c(6,8,9,6,7,8,9,6,7), X3 = c(7,6,7,5,6,5,6,7,5), X4 = c(1,2,1,2,3,1,2,1,2)) > df ID1 ID2 ID3 X1 X2 X3 X4 1 1 A E 1 6 7 1 2 1 A E 4 8 6 2 3 1 A E 3 9 7 1 4 1 B E 5 6 5 2 5 1 B E 2 7 6 3 6 1 B E 4 8 5 1 7 1 C E 6 9 6 2 8 1 C E 4 6 7 1 9 1 C E 2 7 5 2 I want to use the reshape function to get the following result: > df ID1 ID2 ID3 X 1 1 A E 1 2 1 A E 4 3 1 A E 3 4 1 B E 5 5 1 B E 2 6 1 B E 4 7 1 C E 6 8 1 C E 4 9 1 C E 2 10 1 A E 6 11 1 A E 8 12 1 A E 9 13 1 B E 6 14 1 B E 7 15 1 B E 8 16 1 C E 9 17 1 C E 6 18 1 C E 7 19 1 A E 7 20 1 A E 6 21 1 A E 7 22 1 B E 5 23 1 B E 6 24 1 B E 5 25 1 C E 6 26 1 C E 7 27 1 C E 5 28 1 A E 1 29 1 A E 2 30 1 A E 1 31 1 B E 2 32 1 B E 3 33 1 B E 1 34 1 C E 2 35 1 C E 1 36 1 C E 2 Can anyone help?
