Dear list, For a reason it would take me long to explain, I need to do something along the lines of what's shown below -- i.e., create an object from dplyr::summarise, and then evaluate it on a data frame.
I know I could directly do: df %>% dplyr::summarise(x1_mean = mean(x1)) but this is not what I'm looking for. library(dplyr) df <- data.frame(x1 = rnorm(100), x2 = rnorm(100)) foo <- function(df) { mySummary <- quote(dplyr::summarise(x1_mean = mean(x1))) df %>% eval(mySummary) } foo(df) Error in eval(., mySummary) : invalid 'envir' argument of type 'language' Thank you, Axel.
