How to Display Two Numbers in a DataFrame Cell: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're working with data in R, you may encounter situations where you want to merge two DataFrames while retaining the original values from each. A common issue arises when you wish to display two numbers in a single cell, separated by specific characters like slashes (/) or commas (,). This guide will tackle this problem and provide an easy-to-follow approach to achieve the desired output.

The Problem

Let's say you have two DataFrames, df1 and df2, that have the same row and column names. Your goal is to merge these DataFrames so that each cell in the new DataFrame (df3) contains the values from both df1 and df2 separated by a chosen character. Here’s a brief example of what your input DataFrames might look like:

Input DataFrames

DataFrame 1 (df1):

Expected Output

You would like to create a new DataFrame (df3) that looks like this:

The Solution

To achieve this output, you can use the mapply function along with paste in R. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to do it step by step.

Step 1: Use mapply to Combine DataFrames

The mapply function allows you to apply a function to multiple vectors or lists in a parallel manner. In this case, we will use it to combine the corresponding elements of df1 and df2.

Here’s the code you can use:

In this line:

paste is the function that combines the values,

df2 and df1 are the DataFrames being merged,

sep="/" specifies that the values will be separated by a slash.

Step 2: Set Row Names

Since row names are not included in the output by default, you need to specify them manually. Use the following code to assign the row names from df1 to df3:

This ensures that your new DataFrame retains the appropriate row labels.

Final Code Example

Here’s the complete code that you would run in R:

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can efficiently merge two DataFrames in R while displaying their values in the desired format. Whether you're separating values with slashes, commas, or other characters, R offers flexible tools to manipulate your data effectively. Don't hesitate to adapt this method to suit your specific needs.

Now, go ahead and experiment with your own DataFrames and see how you can easily visualize combined data in a single cell!
