Greetings R users,

I am trying to renumber my groups within the file shown below.  The  
groups
are currently set as 8,9,10,etc.  I would like to renumber this as
1,2,3,etc.  I have searched the help files and only come across  
using the
rownames to renumber the values but I need to match values.  Any  
assistance
is always appreciated,

Assuming you mean the `Event_name` column rather than the `Groups`  
column which currently is a factor with label values of "YES" and  
"NO", then why not:

dfrm$Event_name column <- dfrm$Event_name - 7

Regards,
Charles
