R: Merging two data frames such that all the records are included
This is a problem of merging two data frames such that all the records are included. The approach used is Tidyverse
I have two data frames, df1 and df2 that look as follows.
df1 <- data.frame(
A = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9),
B = c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i"))
df2 <- data.frame(
A = c(1, 2, 11),
C = c("as", "ba", "js"))
I want to merge the two data frames into a new one, and make sure that in column A, all cases (i.e, 1 to 11) are included. I want the contents of both B and C to be included too.
This is the code that ultilize full_join() to merge the dataframes, with pipe operation.
result <- df1 %>% #Put in df1
full_join(df2, by = "A") %>% #Join it with df2,and by what is in A
complete(A = 1:11) %>% # complete() adds rows for missing values in A
replace_na(list(B = "N/A", C = "N/A")) # finally replace NAs with "N/A"
print(result) # Display results
