II just want to create a new object with the first two numerals of the data. Not sure why this isnt working, consider the following:
EmpEst$naics=c(238321, 624410, 484121 ,238911, 811111, 531110, 621399, 541613, 524210 ,236115 ,811121 ,236115 ,236115 ,621610 ,814110 ,812320) EmpEst$naics2<-formatC(EmpEst$naics %% 1e2, width=2, flag="", mode ="integer") #RESULT:Warning message: #In Ops.factor(EmpEst$naics, 100) : %% not meaningful for factors EmpEst$naics2<-format(EmpEst$naics,trim=FALSE,digits=2,width=2) #RESULT #Changes data to string I know this is super simple but im not sure why i get the error in the first try. Help with some excplanation would be helpful, thanks Cheers -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Selecting-initial-numerals-tp25876664p25876664.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
