group_data function

Grouping metadata

This collection of functions accesses data about grouped data frames in various ways:

• group_data() returns a data frame that defines the grouping structure. The columns give the values of the grouping variables. The last column, always called .rows, is a list of integer vectors that gives the location of the rows in each group.

• group_keys() returns a data frame describing the groups.

• group_rows() returns a list of integer vectors giving the rows that each group contains.

• group_indices() returns an integer vector the same length as .data

  that gives the group that each row belongs to.

• group_vars() gives names of grouping variables as character vector.

• groups() gives the names of the grouping variables as a list of symbols.

• group_size() gives the size of each group.

• n_groups() gives the total number of groups.

See context for equivalent functions that return values for the current

group.

Arguments

• .data, .tbl, x: A data frame or extension (like a tibble or grouped tibble).
• ...: Use of ... is now deprecated; please use group_by() first instead.

Examples
