Hello,

Try the following.


data.frame1 <- read.table(text = "
                  cu.nr.         name              value
A                 1                 Evo                 100
B                 1                 Mer                 80
C                 2                 Ford                50
", header = TRUE)


data.frame2 <- read.table(text = "
                  cu.nr.         name
A                 33                 Evo
B                 1                 Mer
C                 1                 Pold
", header = TRUE)

merge(data.frame2, data.frame1, all.x = TRUE)



Hope this helps,

Hello,

i want to match a column of one data.frame to another, my problem is, that i
only want to match the data, if 2 columns are equal.

i have a example:

data.frame1
                   cu.nr.         name              value
A                 1                 Evo                 100
B                 1                 Mer                 80
C                 2                 Ford                50

And now i want to match the value to data.frame 2 in dependence of cu.nr.
and name.

data.frame2
                   cu.nr.         name
A                 33                 Evo
B                 1                 Mer
C                 1                 Pold

as you can see, there is only one row with equal cu.nr. and name. How can i
match the data as desired?
The solution has to look like this one:

                   cu.nr.         name          Value
A                 33                 Evo
B                 1                 Mer           80
C                 1                 Pold

thanks.

Mat
