Hello, Use combined ifelses, more or less like the following.
ifelse(dat[, 2] == Inf, do this, ifelse(dat[, 2] > 0, 1 * (1/dat[,3]), -1* (1/dat[,3]))) Rui Barradas Citando Stephen HK WONG <hon...@stanford.edu>: > So much thanks Rui, the code can be so simple and fast. > > By the way, ifelse is good for two conditions, in my case, either > >0, or <0, I found there's a lot of row with value "Inf", I want to > keep it in new column, how do I do that using ifelse ? > > Thanks. > > ________________________________________ > From: ruipbarra...@sapo.pt <ruipbarra...@sapo.pt> > Sent: Monday, March 21, 2016 11:50 AM > To: Stephen HK WONG > Cc: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] how to use vectorization instead of for loop > > Hello, > > I've renamed your dataframe to 'dat'.
