I have a data.frame that has a column with names, but these names repeat a few times. I need to create a new column in a new data.frame with all names, but no repetitions.

Suppose your data frame is called dados and the column with these names is called nomes, do

unique(dados$nomes)

If you want to know the number of times each name appears, do

table(dados$nomes)

    Perfect, that’s exactly what I needed. Between asking my question and seeing your answer, I ended up making a longer path using 'levels(as.factor(given$names)'. But I adopted your solution.

  • I’m glad you were able to come up with a correct and independent answer from me. If possible, please accept my answer so that in future other people can benefit from it as well.
