How do I create properly sectioned lists from a table in R?

Question

I want to extract a selective column (& its data) from a table. So what I executed was:

list <- list(sample_table$column)

but it stated a list of 1, with all of the data in 1 cell. Is there a way to classify them, so that each row will have a similar value from the original column?

Answer 1

For achieving that either use as.list()

data <- as.list(sample_table$column)

Or simply use split() :

data <- split(sample_table$column, seq(nrow(sample_table)))
