将tibble中的每一行转换为列标题

我正在尝试将第一列中的所有行转换为变量。我以后可以使用$表示法来称呼它们(例如data$SWEAT_index)。此时,变量名很长,稍后我将通过添加其他列来简化它。也许我的方法很简单。如何处理这个小问题?

正如@NelsonGon所说,我们可以使用spread

new_df <- tidyr::spread(indices, Station, Value)

现在,您可以调用new_df$`Station numbernew_df$`Station identifier等单个值。


在基本R中,您可以转置,将其转​​换为数据框,然后使用setNames分配列名

new_df <- setNames(data.frame(t(indices$Value)), indices$Station)

但是,正如@Konrad Rudolph提到的那样,转置数据帧会弄乱对象的数据类型,因此请谨慎处理。
