i am a beginner in the R language and wanted to know how I create a function mutate that creates a new column in my table and at the same time store in this new column the sum of the values contained in the other 6 columns of my table as in the example below, also wanted to create another column called Ratio on the side of the Total Soma_column that would take the largest number present between columns A and F and divide it by the value contained in the Total Soma_column. For example, in the first row of the ratio column I would have 100 (higher value between columns A and F)/150 (value contained in the Total Soma_column).
Important details: the columns of A: F are of the Character type and I have a series of NA’s in these columns that I would like to disregard when making my sum.
A   B   C   D   E   F   Soma_total Proporcao
100 50  NA  NA  NA  NA  150        (100/150)
49  51  1   NA  NA  NA  101        (51/101)
30  20  5   1   NA  NA  56         (30/56)
11  10  2   NA  NA  NA  23         (11/23)
7   3   5   1   1   1   18         (7/18)
0   10  NA  NA  NA  NA  10         (10/10)
1   2   NA  NA  NA  NA  3          (2/3)
5   6   2   NA  NA  NA  13         (6/13)
7   3   1   3   1   NA  15         (7/15)
12  3   1   2   NA  NA  18         (12/18) 
All you need to do is pack the proportion numerator, swapping the A for the maximum between A and F! abs

It’s true, @Athos. I didn’t really read the question! Thanks for your answer, I learned about Pmax(), and rowSums()
