[R] Identyfing rows with specific conditions

[Allaisone 1]

Hi Bert ..,


The number of meals differ from one customer to other customer. You may find one customer with only one meal and another one with 2,3 or even rarely 30 meals. You may also

find no meal at all for some customers so the entire row takes the missing value "\N" . Any

row starts with the meals codes first, then all missing values are to the right end of the table.

Clarification:

Does each customer have the same number of meals or do they differ
from customer to customer? If the latter, how are missing meals
notated? Do they always occur at the (right) end or can they occur
anywhere in the row?

Presumably each customer ID can have many different meal code
combinations, right ?(since they can have 30 different meals with
potentially 30 choose 2 = 435 combinations apiece)

Please make sure you reply to the list, not just to me, as I may not
pursue this further but am just trying to clarify for anyone else who
may wish to help.


Cheers,
Bert
