In the previous R syntax, I applied an inner join, but of cause you could also use a right, left, or full join in this step-by-step approach. Also note that there is a very smooth way to merge multiple data frames simultaneously by combining these data frames in a list. You can learn more about this approach in this tutorial. How to do inner joins, left join, right join, full join, anti joins in R. These are similar to SQL joins. The functions are in tidyverse package and they a. The mutating joins add columns from y to x, matching rows based on the keys: innerjoin: includes all rows in x and y. Leftjoin: includes all rows in x. Rightjoin: includes all rows in y. Fulljoin: includes all rows in x or y. If a row in x matches multiple rows in y, all the rows in y will be returned once for each matching row in x. In this video I'm showing you how to merge data frames with the dplyr package in R. The video includes six different join functions, i.e. Innerjoin, leftjo. Outer Join: Merge the two dataframes from Exercise 1. Use the 'all=' parameter in the merge function to return all records from both tables. Also, merge with the key variable, 'location'. Exercise 5 Left Join: Merge the two dataframes from Exercise 1, and return all rows from the left table. Specify the matching key from Exercise 1.

If you want to use dplyr left join or any other type of join in R to combine information from two or multiple data frames, this post might be very helpful. Here is how to left join only selected columns in R.
The first data frame.
The second data frame.
How to perform dplyr left join and keep only necessary columns from the second data frame? In this case, let's keep only elephants and cats.
To do that, use the select function that defines what comes from the second data frame.
R Data.table Merge Left Join
Here are two different ways of how to do that.
