Some of the best TidyX episodes are born out of questions from viewers or colleagues. This week, Ellis Hughes and I dip into the mailbag and answer a question from a colleague about identifying multiple conditions.
The colleague that had a data set with specific observations in one column. Their goal was to create a new column which put those observations into one of several conditional groups. The issue they were running into was that case_when() and ifelse() only output the first condition that is met. The colleague was looking for a way to append the conditional groups column with a comma separate string, so that some of the observations could match multiple conditional groups.
In this episode, we solve the problem in three different ways.
