Transforming Wide Format Data into Long Format with Additional Column Type
Transforming Wide Format Data into Long Format with Additional Column Type In data manipulation, we often encounter datasets that are in wide format, which can be difficult to work with. In contrast, long format datasets provide a more linear structure, making it easier to analyze and manipulate the data. One common operation when working with wide format data is to transform it into long format, while also adding an additional column type.
