Recode multiple columns using dplyr

$
0
0

I had a dataframe where I recoded several columns so that 999 was set to NA

dfB <-dfA %>%
  mutate(adhere = if_else(adhere==999, as.numeric(NA), adhere)) %>%
  mutate(engage = if_else(engage==999, as.numeric(NA), engage)) %>%
  mutate(quality = if_else(quality==999, as.numeric(NA), quality)) %>%
  mutate(undrstnd = if_else(undrstnd==999, as.numeric(NA), undrstnd)) %>%
  mutate(sesspart = if_else(sesspart==999, as.numeric(NA), sesspart)) %>%
  mutate(attended = if_else(attended>=9, as.integer(NA), attended))

I want to use mutate_at() and a range of columns and recode() instead of if_else(), but I am stuck on how to give it the condition. I think something like 999 = NA based on some mutate_all examples -- but I also need the NA to match the type of .x and I am unsure how to get it to be type sensitive

I tried:

y <- data.frame(y1=c(1,2,999,3,4), y2=c(1L, 2L, 999L, 3L, 4L), y3=c(T,T,F,F,T))
z <- y %>%
    mutate_at( vars(y1:y2), funs(recode(.,`999` = as.numeric(NA))))

But I get a warning "Unreplaced values treated as NA as .x is not compatible. Please specify replacements exhaustively or supply .default " and I can see that it worded for the numeric column, but not for the integer column y2"

> z
  y1 y2    y3
1  1 NA  TRUE
2  2 NA  TRUE
3 NA NA FALSE
4  3 NA FALSE
5  4 NA  TRUE
