Is this what you're going for?

factor(values, levels=mylevels[[1]], labels=mylevels[[2]])

[1] a b e e j
Levels: a b c d e f g h i j

Hopefully this is an easy one.  Given a lookup table:

mylevels <- data.frame(ID=1:10,code=letters[1:10])

And a set of values (note these do not completely cover the mylevels range):

values <- c(1,2,5,5,10)

How do I convert values to a factor object, using the mylevels to
define the correct levels (ID matches the values), and code is the
label?
