Question

So, I have been learning how to use data.table, I used the example on the ??dcast where is use the following example

dt = data.table(x=sample(5,20,TRUE), y=sample(2,20,TRUE), 
                z=sample(letters[1:2], 20,TRUE), d1 = runif(20), d2=1L)

then

# multiple value.var
dcast(dt, x + y ~ z, fun=sum, value.var=c("d1","d2"))

and I get the error:

Error in .subset2(x, i, exact = exact) : subscript out of bounds In addition: Warning message: In if (!(value.var %in% names(data))) { :
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

here is the information of my R version:

Answer 1

我遇到了同样的事情，这很令人沮丧。

答案/问题是你需要“强制”data.table dcast函数，否则它将使用reshape2函数

我成功的唯一方法是运行dcast，如下所示：

# multiple value.var
data.table::dcast(dt, x + y ~ z, fun=sum, value.var=c("d1","d2"))

Error using dcast with multiple value.var
