Here is the corrected answer: The final code should be: library(dplyr) df %>% group_by(S) %>% mutate(R = R[Q == 'quintile_5'] - R[Q == 'quintile_1']) %>% distinct(S, Q, R) This will give the desired result of having only one row for each section (S), and with the difference in R values between quintile 5 and quintile 1. Note that I removed the unnecessary filter statement and replaced it with a more direct approach using the group_by and mutate statements.

Understanding Joins in SQL: A Deep Dive into Right Join Introduction Joins are a fundamental concept in SQL that allow us to combine data from two or more tables based on common columns. In this article, we will delve into the world of joins and explore when to use each type, including the right join. What is a Right Join?
