The merge()
function works great to combine dataframes. Until it returns more rows than expected. Or more columns than expected. Or more rows and columns than expected. The match()
function can be used, but it is convoluted.
This package provides two simple functions:
vlookup()
is similar to Excel’s VLOOKUP
lookup(x,key,value)
is a more sequential-thinking version of match()
. Look for x
in key
and return the same position element from value
.Both functions return a vector that is the same length as the input.
