Hi all,
I have a dataframe (df1) that I am trying to select values from to a second
dataframe that at the current time is only for the selected items from df1
(df2). The values that I am trying to save from df1 are factors with
alphanumeric names
df1 looks like this:
'data.frame': 3014 obs. of 13 variables:
$ Num : int 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 ...
$ Tag_Num : int 1195 1195 1195 1162 1162 1162 1106 1106 1106 1173 ...
$ Site : Factor w/ 25 levels "PYBR002A","PYBR003B",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 ...
$ Site_IndNum : Factor w/ 1044 levels "PYBR002A_001",..: 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
4 ...
.... ...
$ Area : num 463.3 29.5 101.8 152.9 34.6 ...
However, whenever I try to assign values, like this
df2[j,1]<-df2$Site[i]
the values are changed from alphanumeric (e.g. PYBR003A) to numerals (e.g.
1).
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can assign the actual
values from df1 to df2?
Thanks in advance,
Wade
