Running Call Columns Data of Another DataFrame Row by Row Using sapply Function
Running Call Columns Data of Another DataFrame Row by Row ===================================================================== Introduction In this article, we’ll explore how to run call columns data of another dataframe row by row using the sapply function from R’s base library. This process involves iterating over each unique value in a column and applying a custom function to it. We’ll start with an example where we have two dataframes: df1 and df2. The goal is to calculate the sum of values in each row of df1 for corresponding rows in df2, using the first three characters of the first column (a, b, or c) as a unique identifier.
