I don't know much about the Tidyverse, but more generally the way to represent ordered categorical data is with a factor. This seems to work:
> testset$Observation <- factor(testset$Observation, levels=c("One", "Two", "Three")) > testset$Label <- factor(testset$Label, levels=c("Western", "Northern", "Eastern", "Southern")) > testset %>% select(Observation, Label, Value) %>% spread(key=Observation, value=Value) # A tibble: 4 x 4 Label One Two Three <fct> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> 1 Western 163 147 119 2 Northern 105 100 82 3 Eastern 121 106 90 4 Southern 74 70 65 JL On Mon, Oct 22, 2018 at 7:55 PM Joel Maxuel <j.max...@gmail.com> wrote: > For clarity sake.
