Thank you Pikal and Bert. My apology for posting parts of my previous email in HTML. Bert's suggestion will work but i am wondering if there is an alternative especially in the case where the data frames are big; that is the difference in lengths among them is large. Below is a list of sample date frames and desired result.
EK dput(df1<-data.frame(col1=c(1,2,3,4,5),col2=c("aa","aa","bb","cc","dd"))) dput(df2<-data.frame(col1=c(1,2,4,5),col2=c("bb","bb","cc","bb"))) dput(df3<-data.frame(col1=c(1,3),col2=c("aa","aa"))) # desired result dput(dfn<-data.frame(col1=c(2,2,1,1),col2=c(0,3,1,0),col3=c(2,0,0,0),row.names = c("aa","bb","cc","dd"))) On Fri, Feb 23, 2018 at 7:45 AM, PIKAL Petr <petr.pi...@precheza.cz> wrote: > Hi > > Your example is rather confusing - partly because HTML formating, partly > because weird coding. > > You probably could concatenate your data frames e.g. by rbind or merge and > after that you could try to aggregate them somehow. > > I could construct example data.frames myself but most probably they would be > different from yours and also the result would not be necessary the same as > you expect. > > You should post those data frames as output from dput(data) and show us real > desired result from those example data frames. > > Cheers > Petr > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Ek Esawi >> Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 3:34 AM >> To: r-help@r-project.org >> Subject: [R] Aggregate over multiple and unequal column length data frames >> >> Hi All-- >> >> I have generated several 2 column data frames with variable length.
