Find a percentage based on multiple columns of criteria in R

Question

I have multiple columns and I would like to find the percentage of a one column in the other columns are the same. For example;

ST  cd  variable
1   1   23432
1         


        

Answer 1

Using dplyr:

require(dplyr)

df %>% group_by(ST, cd) %>% mutate(percentage = variable/sum(variable))

#  ST cd variable percentage
#1  1  1    23432 0.90902743
#2  1  1     2345 0.09097257
#3  1  2   908890 0.25227624
#4  1  2   350435 0.09726856
#5  1  2  2343432 0.65045519
#6  2  1     9999 0.29909366
#7  2  1    23432 0.70090634

You can modify this if you want:

dd %>% group_by(ST, cd) %>% mutate(percentage = round(variable/sum(variable)*100, 2))

#  ST cd variable percentage
#1  1  1    23432      90.90
#2  1  1     2345       9.10
#3  1  2   908890      25.23
#4  1  2   350435       9.73
#5  1  2  2343432      65.05
#6  2  1     9999      29.91
#7  2  1    23432      70.09
