Create table from DataFrame in R

In this article, we are going to discuss how to create a table from the given Data-Frame in the R Programming language.

Function Used:

table(): This function is an essential function for performing interactive data analyses. As it simply creates tabular results of categorical variables.

Syntax: table(…, exclude = if (useNA == "no") c(NA, NaN),useNA = c("no", "ifany", "always"), dnn = list.names(…), deparse.level = 1)

Returns: It will return the frequency tables with conditions and cross-tabulations.

Example 1: Creating a frequency table of the given data frame in R language:-

In this example, we will be building up the simple frequency table in R language using the table() function in R language. This table just providing the frequencies of elements in the dataframe.

gfg_data <- data.frame(
  Country = c("France","Spain","Germany","Spain","Germany",
              "France","Spain","France","Germany","France"), 
  
  age = c(44,27,30,38,40,35,52,48,45,37),
  
  salary = c(6000,5000,7000,4000,8000), 
  
  Purchased=c("No","Yes","No","No","Yes",
              "Yes","No","Yes","No","Yes"))

gfg_table<-table(gfg_data$Country)
gfg_table

Output:

 France Germany   Spain  
     4       3       3 

Example 2: Creating a frequency table with the proportion of the given data frame in R language:

Here, we will be using the prop.table() function which works quite similar to the simple table() function to get the frequency table with proportion from the given data frame.

gfg_data <- data.frame(
  Country = c("France","Spain","Germany","Spain","Germany",
              "France","Spain","France","Germany","France"), 
  
  age = c(44,27,30,38,40,35,52,48,45,37),
  salary = c(6000,5000,7000,4000,8000), 
  
  Purchased=c("No","Yes","No","No","Yes","Yes",
              "No","Yes","No","Yes"))

gfg_table = as.table(table(gfg_data$Country))
prop.table(gfg_table)

Output:

 France Germany   Spain 
    0.4     0.3     0.3 

Example 3: Creating a frequency table with condition from the given data frame in R language:

In this example, we will be building up the simple frequency table in R language using the table() function with a condition inside it as the function parameter R language. This table just providing the frequencies of elements that match the given conditions in the function in the data frame.

Here we will be making a frequency table of the salary column with the condition of a salary greater than 6000 from the data frame using the table() function in R language.

gfg_data <- data.frame(
  Country = c("France","Spain","Germany","Spain","Germany",
              "France","Spain","France","Germany","France"), 
  
  age = c(44,27,30,38,40,35,52,48,45,37),
  salary = c(6000,5000,7000,4000,8000), 
  
  Purchased=c("No","Yes","No","No","Yes","Yes",
              "No","Yes","No","Yes"))

gfg_table =table(gfg_data$salary>6000)
gfg_table

Output:

FALSE  TRUE 
    6     4 

Example 4: Creating a 2-way cross table from the given data frame in R language:

In this example, we will be building up the simple 2-way cross table in R language using the table() function R language. This table just providing the frequencies of elements of the different columns in the data frame.

gfg_data <- data.frame(
  Country = c("France","Spain","Germany","Spain","Germany",
              "France","Spain","France","Germany","France"), 
  
  age = c(44,27,30,38,40,35,52,48,45,37),
  salary = c(6000,5000,7000,4000,8000), 
  
  Purchased=c("No","Yes","No","No","Yes","Yes",
              "No","Yes","No","Yes"))

gfg_table =table(gfg_data$salary,gfg_data$Country)
gfg_table

Output:

       France Germany Spain
  4000      0       1     1
  5000      0       0     2
  6000      2       0     0
  7000      1       1     0
  8000      1       1     0
