Hi
I have two dataframes(df1, df2) with equal number of columns (1566) but lesser rows in df2 (2772 in df1 and 40 in df2). Row names are identical in both dataframes (date). I want to replace NAs of df1 with the values of df2 for all those rows having identical row names (date) but without affecting already existing values in those rows of df1. Please see below: df1: date 11A 11A 21B 3CC 3CC 20040101 100 150 NA NA 140 20040115 200 NA 200 NA NA 20040131 NA 165 180 190 190 20040205 NA NA NA NA NA 20040228 NA NA NA NA NA 20040301 150 155 170 150 160 20040315 NA NA 180 190 200 20040331 NA NA NA 175 180 df2: date 11A 11A 21B 3CC 3CC 20040131 170 NA NA NA NA 20040228 140 145 165 150 155 20040331 NA 145 160 NA NA I want the resulting dataframe to be: df3: date 11A 11A 21B 3CC 3CC 20040101 100 150 NA NA 140 20040115 200 NA 200 NA NA 20040131 170 165 180 190 190 20040205 NA NA NA NA NA 20040228 140 145 165 150 155 20040301 150 155 170 150 160 20040315 NA NA 180 190 200 20040331 NA 145 160 175 180 If it is possible, I would prefer to use "for loop" and "which" function to achieve the result. Please guide me in this regard.
