在另一列中粘贴 NA 时的字符串

Question

这是我的数据示例：

my_df <- data.frame("R" = c("123", NA, NA, "456", "789", "123", NA),
                "D" = c("abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl", "mno", "aze", "aze"),
                stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

我想做的是，每当我在“R”列中有 NA 时，我想将内容粘贴到前一行的“D”列中，其中“R”不是 NA。

这是预期的结果：

my_result <- data.frame("R" = c("123", "456", "789", "123"),
                    "D" = c("abcdefghi", "ijk", "lmn", "azeaze"),
                    stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

tidyverse

my_df <- data.frame("R" = c("123", NA, NA, "456", "789", "123", NA),
                    "D" = c("abc", "def", "ghi", "jkl", "mno", "aze", "aze"),
                    stringsAsFactors = FALSE)


library(tidyverse)
my_df %>%
  mutate(grp = cumsum(!is.na(R))) %>% 
  fill(R) %>%
  group_by(R, grp) %>%
  summarise(D = paste0(D, collapse = ""), .groups = "drop") %>% 
  arrange(grp) %>% 
  select(-grp)

#> # A tibble: 4 x 2
#>   R     D        
#>   <chr> <chr>    
#> 1 123   abcdefghi
#> 2 456   jkl      
#> 3 789   mno      
#> 4 123   azeaze

data.table

library(data.table)
library(magrittr)

setDT(my_df)[, grp := cumsum(!is.na(R))] %>% 
  .[, R := zoo::na.locf(R)] %>% 
  .[, list(D = paste0(D, collapse = "")), by = list(R, grp)] %>% 
  .[, grp := NULL] %>% 
  .[]

#>      R         D
#> 1: 123 abcdefghi
#> 2: 456       jkl
#> 3: 789       mno
#> 4: 123    azeaze

Answer 2

在 cumsum(!is.na(my_df$R)) my_df$D split 之后，您可以在 sapply 中使用 paste。

i <- !is.na(my_df$R)
data.frame(my_df["R"][i,,drop=FALSE]
         , D = sapply(split(my_df$D, cumsum(i)), paste, collapse = ""))
#    R         D
#1 123 abcdefghi
#4 456       jkl
#5 789       mno
#6 123    azeaze
