hello,

What exactly didn't work? You say you have tried the solutions found in 
stackoverflow but without a link, we don't know which answers to which 
questions you are talking about.
Like Bert said, if you assign NA to the new levels, present only in 
test, it should work.

Can you post links to what you have tried?

Hope this helps,
