RE: [R] Recode from 2 variables

2003-07-17 Thread Mulholland, Tom 
Thank you. When I received the reply it dawned on me why my attempts had
been unsuccessful. HR, HRRES and SUBURB are all factors. It's time to go
home I was at this solution an hour ago and somehow missed it. I've now
got it working.

Something like

ifelse(HR==HRRES,suburb,HRRES)

should help

[R] Recode from 2 variables

2003-07-17 Thread Mulholland, Tom 
I am trying to create a new variable which uses the suburb names if HR
and HRRES are the same but which uses HRRES if they are different. Any
assistance would be appreciated as my brain has just packed up. I'm not
sure I can teach myself anymore new tricks this afternoon.
