Closed 3 years ago.
I have a dataset and I want to generate the row position by group. For example
library(data.table)
data<-data.table(Position=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10),
Category=c("M","M","M","M","F","F","F","M","M","F"))
I group by the Category and want to create column that is the row position by group. Something like below or with data.table
dataByGroup %>% group_by(Category) %>% mutate(positionInCategory = 1:nrow(Category))
Unable to work out how to achieve this?
Desired output:
| Position|Category | positionInCategory|
|--------:|:--------|------------------:|
| 1|M | 1|
| 2|M | 2|
| 3|M | 3|
| 4|M | 4|
| 5|F | 1|
| 6|F | 2|
| 7|F | 3|
| 8|M | 5|
| 9|M | 6|
| 10|F | 4|
