Get rows of a data.frame with identical values for the specified variables.
Source: R/get_dupes.R
get_dupes.RdFor hunting duplicate records during data cleaning. Specify the data.frame and the variable combination to search for duplicates and get back the duplicated rows.
Value
A data.frame with the full records where the specified
variables have duplicated values, as well as a variable dupe_count
showing the number of rows sharing that combination of duplicated values.
If the input data.frame was of class tbl_df, the output is as well.
Examples
get_dupes(mtcars, mpg, hp)
#> mpg hp dupe_count cyl disp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb
#> 1 21 110 2 6 160 3.9 2.620 16.46 0 1 4 4
#> 2 21 110 2 6 160 3.9 2.875 17.02 0 1 4 4
# or called with the magrittr pipe %>% :
mtcars %>% get_dupes(wt)
#> wt dupe_count mpg cyl disp hp drat qsec vs am gear carb
#> 1 3.44 3 18.7 8 360.0 175 3.15 17.02 0 0 3 2

# You can use tidyselect helpers to specify variables:
mtcars %>% get_dupes(-c(wt, qsec))
#> mpg cyl disp hp drat vs am gear carb dupe_count wt qsec
#> 1 21 6 160 110 3.9 0 1 4 4 2 2.620 16.46
