Replacing NAs in a column with the values of other column
I wonder how to replace NA s in a column with the values of other column in R using dplyr . MWE is below. Letters <- LETTERS[1:5] Char <- c("a", "b", NA, "d", NA) df1 <- data.frame(Letters, Char) df1 library(dplyr] df1 %>% mutate(Char1 = ifelse(Char != NA, Char, Letters)) Letters Char Char1 1 A a NA 2 B b NA 3 C <NA> NA 4 D d NA 5 E <NA> NA You can use coalesce : library(dplyr) df1 <- data.frame(Letters, Char, stringsAsFactors = F) df1 %>% mutate(Char1 = coalesce(Char, Letters)) Letters Char Char1 1 A a a 2 B b b 3 C <NA> C 4 D d d 5 E <NA> E 来源: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46137115
