Efficient Data Transformation in R: Using dplyr and tidyr to Format mtcars
The more elegant solution would be to use dplyr and tidyr packages. Here’s how you can do it: library(dplyr) library(tidyr) df_mtcars <- mtcars for (i in names(df_mtcars)) { df_mtcars$`${i} ± ${names(df_mtcars)}[match(i, names(mtcars))]` <- paste0( df_mtcars[[i]], " ± ", round(df_mtcars[[names(mtcars)[match(i, names(mtcars))]]], 2) ) } knitr::kable(head(df_mtcars)) This will create a new data frame with the desired format. Note that I used round to round the values to two decimal places. However, using dplyr and tidyr packages is more efficient than manually creating a data frame and adding columns using do.
