Problem Statement Given a dataset where each group of rows shares the same COL1 value, and within each group, there are missing values represented by NA in the COL3 column. The goal is to assign a sequential value to each unique COL2 value within each group. Solution Overview We will utilize the dplyr library’s arrange, group_by, and mutate functions to solve this problem. The approach involves sorting the data by COL1 and COL3, grouping by COL1, and then applying a custom transformation to assign sequential values to each unique COL2.
