Dear R forum
I have a data.frame
df = data.frame(dates = c("4/15/2013", "4/14/2013", "4/13/2013", "4/12/2013"), values = c(47, 38, 56, 92))
I need to to create a vector by repeating the dates as
"Current_date", 4/15/2013, 4/14/2013, 4/13/2013, 4/12/2013, "Current_date", 4/15/2013, 4/14/2013, 4/13/2013, 4/12/2013, Current_date, 4/15/2013, 4/14/2013, 4/13/2013, 4/12/2013
i.e. I need to create a new vector as given below which I need to use for some other purpose.
Current_date
4/15/2013
4/14/2013
4/13/2013
4/12/2013
Current_date
4/15/2013
4/14/2013
4/13/2013
4/12/2013
Current_date
4/15/2013
4/14/2013
4/13/2013
4/12/2013
Is it possible to construct such a
column?
Hi Katherine,
How about:
rep(c("Current date",paste(4,15:12,2013,sep="/")),3)
