Hi
I have a data frame df1 in which I would like to multiply col1 by 2. The way I did it does not allow me to keep the old data frame. How can I do this and be able to create a new data frame df2? > df1= data.frame(col1= c(3, 5, NA, 1), col2= c(4, NA,6, 2)) > df1 col1 col2 1 3 4 2 5 NA 3 NA 6 4 1 2 > df1$col1=df1$col1*2 > df1 col1 col2 1 6 4 2 10 NA 3 NA 6 4 2 2 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
