Hello,

For column J, ave/seq_along seems to be the simplest. For column I, ave is also a good option, it avoids split/lapply.


xx$I <- ave(xx$NUMBER_OF_YEARS, xx$COMPANY_NUMBER, FUN = function(x){
  c(rep(1, length(x) - 1), max(length(x)))
})

xx$J <- ave(xx$NUMBER_OF_YEARS, xx$COMPANY_NUMBER, FUN = seq_along)


Hope this helps,

Hallo,

Sorry, my suggestion did not worked in your case correctly as split used
natural factor ordering.

So using Jim's data, this results in desired output.

#prepare factor in original ordering
ff <- factor(xx[,1], levels=unique(xx[,1]))
lll <- split(xx$COMPANY_NUMBER, ff)
xx$I <- unlist(lapply(lll, function(x) c(rep(1, length(x)-1),
max(length(x)))),use.names=FALSE)
xx$J <- unlist(lapply(lll, function(x) 1:length(x)), use.names=FALSE)
xx

Hi email,
If you want what you described, try this:

xx<-read.table(text="COMPANY_NUMBER NUMBER_OF_YEARS
0070837  3
0070837  3
0070837  3

10029943  3
10029943  3
10037980  4
10037980  4
10037980  4
10037980  4
10057418  3

1009550  4
1009550  4
1009550  4
1009550  4",
header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
xx$I<-NA
xx$J<-NA
row_count<-1
for(row in 1:nrow(xx)) {
  if(row == nrow(xx) ||
xx$COMPANY_NUMBER[row]==xx$COMPANY_NUMBER[row+1]) {
   xx$I[row]<-1
   xx$J[row]<-row_count
   row_count<-row_count+1
  } else {
   xx$I[row]<-xx$J[row]<-xx$NUMBER_OF_YEARS[row]
   row_count<-1
  }
}
xx

Like Petr, I am assuming that you want company 10057418 treated the same
as the others. If not, let us know why. I am also adssuming that the first
three
rows should _not_ have a "#" at the beginning, which means that they will
be
discarded.

1009550                               4
The code I have written is

while (i <= nrow(xx1) )

{

for (j in 1:xx1$NUMBER_OF_YEARS[i])
{
xx1$I[i] <- i
xx1$J[j] <- j
xx1$NUMBER_OF_YEARS_j[j] <- xx1$NUMBER_OF_YEARS[j] } i=i +
(xx1$NUMBER_OF_YEARS[i] ) } After running the code I want my
dataframe
to look like

|COMPANY_NUMBER |NUMBER_OF_YEARS| | I| |J|

|#0070837 |3| |1| |1|
|#0070837 |3| |1| |2|
|#0070837 |3| |3| |3|

|1009550 |4| |1| |2|
|1009550 |4| |1| |3|
|1009550 |4| |4| |4|


I get the correct value of I but in the wrong row but the vaule of J
is correct in the first iteration and then it goes to 1

Any help will be greatly appreciated
