turn row names into column in r
To turn row names into a column in R, you can use the following steps:
- Convert the row names to a new column using the
rownames_to_column
function from thetibble
package. - Use the
as.data.frame
function to convert the data frame to a standard data frame. - Rename the new column to a desired name using the
rename
function from thedplyr
package.
Here is an example of the code:
library(tibble)
library(dplyr)
# Create a sample data frame
df <- data.frame(A = 1:3, B = 4:6)
# Convert row names to a column
df <- rownames_to_column(df, var = "row_names")
# Convert to standard data frame
df <- as.data.frame(df)
# Rename the new column
df <- df %>% rename(new_column_name = row_names)
These steps will effectively turn the row names into a separate column within the data frame in R.
