Hi R users, I want to do a data reshape from long to wide, I thought it was easy using tidyverse spread function, but it did not work well. Can you help me?
Thank you, Ding test1 data frame is long file and test2 is the wide file I want to get test1 <- data.frame (vntr1=c("v1","v1", "v2","v2","v2","v2"), val =c(0.98,0.02, 0.59,0.12,0.11,0.04)) test2 <- data.frame(vntr1=c("v1","v2"), a1 =c(0.98, 0.5693), a2 = c(0.02, 0.12), a3 =c(NA, 0.11), a4=c(NA, 0.04)) the following code does not work test2 <-test1 %>%spread(vntr1, val) Error: Each row of output must be identified by a unique combination of keys. Keys are shared for 6 rows: * 1, 2 * 3, 4, 5, 6 Do you need to create unique ID with tibble::rowid_to_column()?
