Some datasets in R use row names, such as the built-in mtcars dataset. While convenient, row names can be suboptimal when sorting data, for instance, by car brands:
To convert row names into a column using the Tidyverse, the rownames_to_column() function is used:
library(tidyverse)
# mtcars laden und die Reihenamen in eine Spalte verschieben
mtcars_tidy <- mtcars %>%
rownames_to_column(var = "car_name")And this is the result:
