Subject: Assigning categorical values to dates
Hi all,
If I have a tibble as follows:
tibble(dates = c(rep("2021-07-04", 2), rep("2021-07-25", 3),
rep("2021-07-18", 4)))
how in the world do I add a column that evaluates each of those dates and
assigns it a categorical value such that
dates cycle
<chr> <chr>
2021-07-04 1
2021-07-04 1
2021-07-25 3
2021-07-25 3
2021-07-25 3
2021-07-18 2
2021-07-18 2
2021-07-18 2
2021-07-18 2
Not to further complicate matters, but some months I may only have one
date, and some months I will have 4 dates - so thats not a fixed quantity.
We've literally been doing this by hand at my job and I'd like to automate
it.
Thanks in advance!
