Move columns to other positions in a data frame
move_columns() moves one or more columns in a data frame
to another position.
move_columns(data, ..., .before, .after)
data |
A data frame. |
... |
Unquoted names or character vector with names of variables that
should be move to another position. You may also use functions like
|
.before |
Optional, column name or numeric index of the position where
|
.after |
Optional, column name or numeric index of the position where
|
data, with resorted columns.
If neither .before nor .after are specified, the
column is moved to the end of the data frame by default. .before
and .after are evaluated in a non-standard fashion, so you need
quasi-quotation when the value for .before or .after is
a vector with the target-column value. See 'Examples'.
## Not run:
data(iris)
iris %>%
move_columns(Sepal.Width, .after = "Species") %>%
head()
iris %>%
move_columns(Sepal.Width, .before = Sepal.Length) %>%
head()
iris %>%
move_columns(Species, .before = 1) %>%
head()
iris %>%
move_columns("Species", "Petal.Length", .after = 1) %>%
head()
library(dplyr)
iris %>%
move_columns(contains("Width"), .after = "Species") %>%
head()
## End(Not run)
# using quasi-quotation
target <- "Petal.Width"
# does not work, column is moved to the end
iris %>%
move_columns(Sepal.Width, .after = target) %>%
head()
# using !! works
iris %>%
move_columns(Sepal.Width, .after = !!target) %>%
