Working more on data engineering/data cleaning steps, Ellis and I talk about the pivot_wider() function within {tidyverse}. One of the issues is that when pivoting a data set to a wide format, if you have duplicate rows in the id columns pivot_wider() will collapse them into a list. This may be problematic if you are needing to retain all rows in the original data set. Thus, Ellis and I discuss a method to pivot_wider() while retaining all rows of data, even when there are duplicate values in the id_cols.
