Hi all, I'm hoping there's a quick fix for this. I have two data frames and am running a loop to match similar rows. However the matching is not working well, and I suspect it is because of the different formats of columns. For example, in col. 1 of dataframe 1 the nummbers are formatted as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...31 However in col. 1 dataframe 2 the numbers are 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09...31 After investigation it seems only the numbers below 10 do not match up well (i.e. those with a 0 in).
My question is: is there a quick fix so I can convert the first set of numbers into the format of the second? I could write a loop and if statement but that seems a lot and I thought there must be an easier way out there. However having searched the archives, nothing has appeared.
