u saved me for my final exam i love u so much

[@EquitableEquations]

Love you right back!

[@ruthnorris5626]

Thank you so much .. have been spending literally hours on trying to relevel my factor levels...and thanks to you this works ! (none of the other ways did)

Great tutorial. Happy to have found your channel. Subscribed. I have my "go to" for each package and this was a spot-on quick review of the forcats which is not always intuitive to work with. 👍🎈

I cannot find either dataset. *Your videos are fantastic - I have completed #44 Factors, and wish to advaance to this (#45)

I'm slowly adding materials for old vids to my GitHub (github.com/equitable-equations/youtube). Thanks for your patience and support!!

[@salzd3r3rd3]

Hello! Thank you so much for your great work, I'm very new to data analysis and your videos are a gem.
Could you please post the data sets used in this video to your github page? Highly appreciate, thanks in advance!

How do we fct_reorder a barplot when we are only using one axis(x) to measure count data?

[@EquitableEquations]

You might be looking for fct_infreq().

[@trb4847]

@@EquitableEquations Thanks for the reply,think I figured it out with fct_reorder in the end but fct_infreq() might be worth looking into soon. Loving the videos 👍

[@forrestoakley4882]

Cool! Very useful. Thank you.

[@romanvasiura6705]

Thank you!

[@CaribouDataScience]

Thanks, I have been looking for a tutorial for fct_ functions.

[@muizzkhalak]

Hi
This video really helped
Thank you for sharing
Can you please explain the difference between fct_reorder() and reorder()

[@EquitableEquations]

Glad the vid was helpful!
These are similar functions. I tend to use {forcats} functions like fct_reorder() because of their common syntax and design philosophy. reorder() is part of base R.

Thanks for the reply and explanation
Keep up the good work

[@tiannadermody4761]

fct_relevel does not work for me. Keep getting error: could not find function "fct_relevel"

[@EquitableEquations]

Hi! It's in the {forcats} package, which loads up with tidyverse. You probably forgot your library() command.

Hello please I did this command smp.l$prof

Hi! For specific questions like this, I'd recommend the R4DS learning community, for instance on Slack.
