Data manipulation using dcast R

Question

I have a data as shown below:

Data	Flag	Answer
X	1	Yes
X	2	Yes
Y	1	Yes
Y	2	No
Z	1	Yes
Z	2	Yes

and I want to convert it to:

Data	1	2
X	Yes	Yes
Y	Yes	No
Z	Yes	Yes

I know I have to use dcast function but I am not able to manipulate the data to the desired form. Help needed.

Thanks.

Answer 1

reshape2::dcast(dat, Data ~ Flag, value.var = "Answer")
#   Data   1   2
# 1    X Yes Yes
# 2    Y Yes  No
# 3    Z Yes Yes

Data

dat <- structure(list(Data = c("X", "X", "Y", "Y", "Z", "Z"), Flag = c(1L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 2L), Answer = c("Yes", "Yes", "Yes", "No", "Yes", "Yes")), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -6L))
