add a variable a data frame to sequentially count unique rows
Hi Jeff, Thank you for your quick response!! I made this following summary file, however, I want to add the count number sequentially into the original file, because I have several more columns to explain or annotate the first two columns. count_test <- test %>% group_by(group1 ) %>%summarise(Number_of_region = n_distinct(group2)) Ding -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Newmiller [mailto:jdnewmil at dcn.davis.ca.us] Sent: Friday, July 2, 2021 3:36 PM To: r-help at r-project.org; Yuan Chun Ding <ycding at coh.org>; r-help at r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] add a variable a data frame to sequentially count unique rows It is poor analytical design to keep duplicates. If they are not duplicates then there should be a distinguishing additional column. IMO you should re-think your analysis rather than accomplish this short-term goal only to find down the road that this duplication causes future problems.

Hi R users,
In this test file,
test <- data.frame(group1=c("g1", "g1", "g1", "g2", "g2", "g2", "g2",
"g2", "g2"),
group2=c("k1", "a2", "a2", "c5", "n6", "n6", "n6", "m10","m10"),
count= c( 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3 ));
I have group 1 and group2 variable and want to add the count variable
to sequentially count unique rows defined by group1 and group2.
I hope to use the following functions in library (tidyverse), No one
worked well.
test %>% group_by(group1, group2) %>% mutate(count = row_number()) test
%>% group_by(group1, group2) %>% mutate(count = 1:n()) test %>%
group_by(group1, group2) %>% mutate(count = seq_len(n())) test %>%
group_by(group1, group2) %>% mutate(count = seq_along(group1,
group2))
Can you help me to make the third column in the test data frame?
Thank you,
Ding
