Hello,
Try the following.
icol <- which(grepl("flag", names(mydf)))
mydf[icol] <- lapply(mydf[icol], function(x){
is.na(x) <- x == 0
x
})
mydf
# A A_flag B B_flag
#1 8 10 5 12
#2 7 NA 6 9
#3 10 1 2 NA
#4 1 NA 1 5
#5 5 2 0 NA
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Given this data frame (a simplified, essential reproducible example)

B_flag<-c(12,9,0,5,0)
mydf<-data.frame(A, A_flag, B, B_flag)
# this is my initial df

I want to get to this final situation
i<-which(mydf$A_flag==0)
mydf$A[i]<-NA
ii<-which(mydf$B_flag==0)
mydf$B[ii]<-NA
# this is my final df
mydf
By considering that I have to perform this task in a data frame with many
columns I’m wondering if there is a compact and effective way to get the final
result with just one ‘sweep’ of the dataframe?
I was thinking to the function apply or lapply but I can not properly conceive
how to…
any hint for that?
