Hi, I have a question about reformatting data. It looks like it should be simple, but I've been working at it for awhile now and it's about time I ask for help.
My data look like this: ITEM VALUE STEP item1 A first item2 C first item2 D second item1 A second item3 A first item3 B second item3 A third I just want to transform it so they look like this: ITEM FIRST SECOND THIRD item1 A A NA item2 C D NA item3 A B A Basically taking the values of the "STEP" column and using those as the column names and merging together the items. I appreciate your help, -Matt ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
