Complete dataframe with missing combinations of values

问题

I have a simple question, which I can\'t figure out. I have a dataframe with two factors (distance) and years (years). I would like to complete all years values for every factor by 0.

i.e. from this:

    distance years area
1      NPR     3   10
2      NPR     4   20
3      NPR     7   30
4      100     1   40
5      100     5   50
6      100     6   60

get this:

   distance years area
1       NPR     1    0
2       NPR     2    0
3       NPR     3   10
4       NPR     4   20
5       NPR     5    0
6       NPR     6    0
7       NPR     7   30
8       100     1   40
9       100     2    0
10      100     3    0
11      100     4    0
12      100     5   50
13      100     6   60
14      100     7    0

I tried to apply expand() function:

library(tidyr)
library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = FALSE)

expand(df, years = 1:7)

but this just produces one column dataframe and does not expand the original one:

# A tibble: 7 x 1
  years
  <int>
1     1
2     2
3     3
4     4
5     5
6     6
7     7

or expand.grid() does not working neither:

require(utils)    
expand.grid(df, years = 1:7)

Error in match.names(clabs, names(xi)) : 
  names do not match previous names
In addition: Warning message:
In format.data.frame(x, digits = digits, na.encode = FALSE) :
  corrupt data frame: columns will be truncated or padded with NAs

Is there a simple way to expand my dataframe? And how to expand it based on two categories: distance and uniqueLoc?

distance <- rep(c(\"NPR\", \"100\"), each = 3)
years <-c(3,4,7, 1,5,6)
area <-seq(10,60,10)
uniqueLoc<-rep(c(\"a\", \"b\"), 3)

df<-data.frame(uniqueLoc, distance, years, area)

> df
  uniqueLoc distance years area
1         a      NPR     3   10
2         b      NPR     4   20
3         a      NPR     7   30
4         b      100     1   40
5         a      100     5   50
6         b      100     6   60

You can use the tidyr::complete function:

complete(df, distance, years = full_seq(years, period = 1), fill = list(area = 0))

# A tibble: 14 x 3
   distance years  area
   <fct>    <dbl> <dbl>
 1 100         1.   40.
 2 100         2.    0.
 3 100         3.    0.
 4 100         4.    0.
 5 100         5.   50.
 6 100         6.   60.
 7 100         7.    0.
 8 NPR         1.    0.
 9 NPR         2.    0.
10 NPR         3.   10.
11 NPR         4.   20.
12 NPR         5.    0.
13 NPR         6.    0.
14 NPR         7.   30.

or slightly shorter:

complete(df, distance, years = 1:7, fill = list(area = 0))
