Joining Large Dataframes: A Categorical Variable Solution to Avoid Duplicate Rows
Joining a Dataframe onto Another Dataframe that is the Same Content Summarized by a Categorical Variable In this article, we will explore how to join a large dataframe with thousands of observations grouped into 31 levels by STATION to another dataframe that has the same content summarized by a categorical variable. We will also discuss the best approach to achieving this and similar outcomes. Problem Description The problem is that when trying to join the raw data tibble onto the summary data tibble using left_join, all rows from y are preserved, resulting in an enormous number of rows with duplicate values for most columns except STATION.
