Good Day,
I have a small question, I think it is simple to solve,
I have a column with the following records
name
saucer
cup
tea
saucer
saucer
I assume that name is a column header. Otherwise the following makes
no sense.
what is the quickest way to create a new column codes
1
1
3
1
1
I assume that the second 1 here is actually intended to be a 2.
Maybe:
as.numeric(factor(x,levels=(c("saucer","cup","tea"))))
Oh, what the heck. I will add yet a third guess .... that you wanted:
table(name)
