Using R's all Function to Test for Multiple Conditions in ID Group Data
R Test if Specific Groups of Values are in ID Group Problem Statement In this problem, we have a dataset with two columns: enrolid and proc1. We want to label the members who have all categories of values. Specifically, we want to label members who have values beginning with 99, values beginning with 77[1-9], and either 77014 or G6 or a value ending with T. We created a vector of all the values we’re interested in based on the original data using rad %>% select(proc1) %>% filter(str_detect(proc1, '^77[1-9]|^77014|^G6|^99|T$')) and then did this:
