Hello,

The two merge below give identical results.
Maybe there was something in your R session?


df3 <- merge(df1, df2, by = c("date", "geo_hash" ), all = TRUE)
df3b <- merge(df1, df2, all = TRUE)
identical(df3, df3b)
#[1] TRUE

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Ok this seems to work correctly

df1 <- data.frame(date = 
as.factor(c("2021-1-1","2021-1-1","2021-1-1","2021-1-1","2021-1-1",

Yes I'm reading that presently

The closest I've gotten has been

df3 <- merge(df1, df2, all = TRUE)

You can also do "SQL-like" joins in the tidyverse with dplyr.

Evening Tom

Yest I've been playing with the merge function.  But haven't been
able to achieve what I need. Could maybe the way to to and it might
be my syntax

Have you looked at the merge function in base R?

I'm trying to combine two data.frames which each containing 10
columns of which they each share two common fields. Here are two
small test datasets.

df1 <- data.frame(date =
c("2021-1-1","2021-1-1","2021-1-1","2021-1-1","2021-1-1",

"2021-1-2","2021-1-2","2021-1-3","2021-1-3","2021-1-3"),
                   geo_hash =
c("abc123","abc123","abc456","abc789","abc246","abc123",
                                "asd123","abc789","abc890","abc123"),
                   ad_id =
c("a12345","b12345","a12345","a12345","c12345",

"b12345","b12345","a12345","b12345","a12345"))
df2 <- data.frame(date =
c("2021-1-1","2021-1-1","2021-1-2","2021-1-3","2021-1-3"),
                   geo_hash =
c("abc123","abc456","abc123","abc789","abc890"),
                   event =
c("shoting","ied","protest","riot","protest"))

I'm trying to combine them such that I get a combined data.frames
such as

date            geo_hash        ad_id           event
1/1/2021        abc123          a12345          shoting
1/1/2021        abc123          b12345
1/1/2021        abc456          a12345          ied
1/1/2021        abc789          a12345
1/1/2021        abc246          c12345
