How to get a list of what responses are in one category with dplyr-CodePudding

How do I see how to list out all responses in one column in R using dplyr? I did Summary and got a list, but it includes (Other), and I cannot see what those are.

CodePudding user response：

Is this helpful?

data(mtcars) # example built-in dataset

list1<-mtcars %>% select(gear) %>% as.list()
list1  # a list o gears based on the `gear` vector!

We can subset/filter by certain conditions:

 list2<- mtcars %>% dplyr::filter(mpg<12) %>% select(gear) %>% as.list()

Your question isn't super clear, but I echo what some of the commenters have suggested.

If you want to pull out each individual value in the column, use dplyr::pull():

mtcars %>% pull(cyl)
# [1] 6 6 4 6 8 6 8 4 4 6 6 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 4 4 4 8 8 8 8 4 4 4 8 6 8 4

If you want to count the values, use dplyr::count():

 mtcars %>% count(cyl)
#   cyl  n
# 1   4 11
# 2   6  7
# 3   8 14
