I am looking to use the ifelse() with mutate(), and if the condition is false, leave the value what is. Here is what I am working with:

df <- df %>% mutate(column1 = ifelse(is.na(column1), 0, "insert code to do nothing"))

CodePudding user response：

df <- df %>% mutate(column1 = ifelse(is.na(column1), 0, column1))

Note you also more directly use the recode function to turn missings into 0.

Or you can also use:

df <- df %>%
  mutate(column1 = replace_na(column1, 0))

CodePudding user response：

Here are couple of options -

1. Base R -

df$column1[is.na(df$column1)] <- 0

2. Using dplyr coalesce -

library(dplyr)
df <- df %>% mutate(column1 = coalesce(column1, 0))
