Hello,

Please use dput(dfA) to post your data examples. The following is it's output. All one has to do is to copy and paste to an R session to get the data example.

dfA <-
structure(list(Site = c(929L, 929L, 930L, 930L, 931L, 932L),
State = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), .Label = "VA", class = "factor"),
Value = c(73L, 73L, 76L, 76L, 74L, 75L)), .Names = c("Site",
"State", "Value"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -6L))

# Now use the argument 'fromLast'
dfA$dups <- duplicated(dfA) | duplicated(dfA, fromLast = TRUE)

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Hi,
I am trying to identify duplicate values in a column in a date frame.  The
duplicated function identifies the duplicate rows in the data frame but it
only does this for the second record, not both records. Is there a way to
mark both rows in the data frame as TRUE?
dfA$dups<-duplicated(dfA$Value)
dfA
Site    State Value dups
929     VA      73 FALSE
929     VA      73  TRUE
930     VA      76 FALSE
930     VA      76 TRUE
931     VA      74 FALSE
932     VA      75 FALSE

But I would like this
Site    State Value dups
929     VA      73 TRUE
929     VA      73  TRUE
930     VA      76 TRUE
930     VA      76 TRUE
931     VA      74 FALSE
932     VA      75 FALSE

Thank you for your replies!
Still on the learning curve,
Kathi
