Matching Street Names with Postcodes: A Step-by-Step Guide in R
Matching the Street Name with Postcode from a Different DataFrame and Applying the Results to a New Column In this article, we will explore how to match street names from one dataset (AllNICrimeData) with postcodes from another dataset (CleanNIPostcodeData). The goal is to identify the most common postcode associated with each street name in AllNICrimeData and add it to a new column in the same row. Problem Statement The problem arises when dealing with datasets that have overlapping data, such as AllNICrimeData and CleanNIPostcodeData, where both datasets contain the same street names but with different structures.
