Making calculations based on specific values and names in columns

Hi,

Welcome to the RStudio community!

First of all, I'd like to point you towards our guide for creating a reprex so we can more easily use your data instead of sharing a screenshot. A reprex consists of the minimal code and data needed to recreate the issue/question you're having. You can find instructions how to build and share one here:

I recreated your dataset (some number are not the same in the rating) and used the dplyr package from the Tidyverse to create your results

library(dplyr)

#Get the data
myData = data.frame(
  subjectID = "0532",
  interpretationType = c("LureN", "LureE", "Absurd", "True"),
  statementID = rep(1:3, 4),
  rating = 0.5
)
myData
#>    subjectID interpretationType statementID rating
#> 1       0532              LureN           1    0.5
#> 2       0532              LureE           2    0.5
#> 3       0532             Absurd           3    0.5
#> 4       0532               True           1    0.5
#> 5       0532              LureN           2    0.5
#> 6       0532              LureE           3    0.5
#> 7       0532             Absurd           1    0.5
#> 8       0532               True           2    0.5
#> 9       0532              LureN           3    0.5
#> 10      0532              LureE           1    0.5
#> 11      0532             Absurd           2    0.5
#> 12      0532               True           3    0.5

#Filter the data only to have the variables of interest
myData = myData %>% 
  filter(statementID == 3 | interpretationType == "Absurd", 
         interpretationType != "True")
myData
#>   subjectID interpretationType statementID rating
#> 1      0532             Absurd           3    0.5
#> 2      0532              LureE           3    0.5
#> 3      0532             Absurd           1    0.5
#> 4      0532              LureN           3    0.5
#> 5      0532             Absurd           2    0.5

#Group the result by subjectID and calculate the sum
myData %>% group_by(subjectID) %>% 
  summarise(sumRatings = sum(rating), .groups = "drop")
#> # A tibble: 1 x 2
#>   subjectID sumRatings
#> * <chr>          <dbl>
#> 1 0532             2.5

If you don't know the Tidyverse yet, you can check out the basics of dplyr here. It's really handy once you get to know it!

Hope this helps,
