Finding Pairs of Elements Across Multiple Columns in R DataFrames
I see that you have a data frame with variables col1, col2, etc. and corresponding values for each column in another column named element. You want to find all pairs of elements where one value is present in two different columns. Here’s the R code that solves your problem: library(dplyr) library(tidyr) data %>% mutate(name = row_number()) %>% pivot_longer(!name, names_to = 'variable', values_to = 'element') %>% drop_na() %>% group_by(element) %>% filter(n() > 1) %>% select(-n()) %>% inner_join(dups, by = 'element') %>% filter(name.
