Not able to filter factor, class
Are you sure that you are not confusing the number of levels with the length of the vector? John Kane Kingston ON Canada

Subject: [R] Not able to filter factor, class
After importing data from Excel through ODBC.
In the inclusion dataset, class(inclusion$Value) is coming as factor.
After filtering the data, length(inclusion$Value == 0),the answer is
coming as 4879, but actually Value contains only 225 rows. So how can I
get the length as 225.
Can anyone help?
setwd("D:/AZ")
library("RODBC")
cdb_cnct <-
odbcConnectExcel("AZIF_DC_GVK_NSCLC_MSALL_287papers_02072012_141450_v1_4.xls")
arm <- sqlFetch(cdb_cnct, "Arm")
inclusion <- sqlFetch(cdb_cnct, "Inclusion")
odbcClose(cdb_cnct)
rm(cdb_cnct)
names(inclusion)
[1] "Trial_Design_ID" "Reference_ID" "Inclusion_Criteria"
[4] "Value" "F5" "F6"
class(inclusion$Value)
[1] "factor"
nrow(inclusion)
[1] 4879
length(inclusion$Value == 0)
[1] 4879
length(inclusion$Value == "0")
[1] 4879
