It would make helping you easier if you presented your data in a format that others could copy and paste into R. E.g.,
z <- list(data.frame(favoriteValue=c(23527,21837), Classification=c("xxxx","xyxy")), data.frame(favoriteValue=c(25427,21237,21997), Classification=c("xxxx","xyxy","xyxy")), data.frame(favoriteValue=c(99427), Classification=c("xxxx"))) You asked from something that "looks like" comma-separated strings of numerals. > zAll <- do.call(rbind, z) > zAll$ID <- rep(seq_along(z), vapply(z, nrow, 0)) # which data.frame each row came from > zAll favoriteValue Classification ID 1 23527 xxxx 1 2 21837 xyxy 1 3 25427 xxxx 2 4 21237 xyxy 2 5 21997 xyxy 2 6 99427 xxxx 3 > library(dplyr) > zAll %>% group_by(ID) %>% summarize(favoriteValue = paste(favoriteValue, collapse=",")) # A tibble: 3 x 2 ID favoriteValue <int> <chr> 1 1 23527,21837 2 2 25427,21237,21997 3 3 99427 It is usually better say how you intend the use the result of your data manipulation, rather that how it looks when printed. The comma-separated strings are not handy for answering questions like "what are the most common favoriteValues?" or "who has the most favoriteValues?" - the format used in zAll is better for that.
