Finding NAs in DF
Hi, I hope you made a mistake in c(NA,"TWO","BOTH","ONE") because if not, I have no idea what you're looking for... But would that do? df <- data.frame(A=c(1,2,NA,NA),B=c(1,NA,NA,4)) apply(df,1, FUN=function(x) length(x[is.na(x)])) [1] 0 1 2 1 There might be better ways to do it, but it works HTH, Ivan Le 1/17/2011 11:01, Johannes Graumann a ?crit :
Hi, What is an efficient way to take this DF data.frame(A=c(1,2,NA,NA),B=c(1,NA,NA,4)) and get c(NA,"TWO","BOTH","ONE") as the result, where NA corresponds to a row without "NA"s, TWO indicates NA in the second and ONE in the first column. Thanks for any pointers. Joh
