Hi,
You can add extra levels using levels().
e.g.
> test <- data.frame(x=c(1,2,4,4), y=c("A", 1, 2, "A"))
> levels(test$y) <- c(levels(test$y), 'B')
> levels(test$y)
[1] "1" "2" "A" "B"
> test[test$x==4,]$y<-'B'
> test
x y
1 1 A
2 2 1
3 4 B
4 4 B
Regards,
Paul

Sorry, I didn't get it.
I made a simple example to explain what I want
x=c(1,2,4,4)
y=c("A",1,2,"A")
test<-as.data.frame(cbind(x,y))
test
x y
1 1 A
2 2 1
3 4 2
4 4 A
test[test$x==4,]$y<-'B'
Warning message:
In `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, iseq, value = c("B", "B")) :
invalid factor level, NAs generated
test
x y
1 1 A
2 2 1
3 4 <NA>
4 4 <NA>
actually, what I want is
test
x y
1 1 A
2 2 1
3 4 B
4 4 B

May be you want something like:
FDLFDPdata0000[FDLFDPdata0000$ID==69912008,]$tempcalved2<-'2008-03-08'
FDLFDPdata0000$tempcalved2<-factor(FDLFDPdata0000$tempcalved2)
## the factor above just update the levels
Case this is what you want, you can also change
$ID==69912008
$ID %in% c(69912008,....)
Good luck,
milton

Hi, everyone,
I want to use a new value to replace a column that is a factor. However
this
column is replaced by <NA>
, which is not what I want. I know this is because the new value is not in
the levels of that column, but
I don't know how to fix it.
Can someone help me to figure this out?
The following is what I did
thanks
