group_by_everything_except(.DF, ..., .add = FALSE, .drop = FALSE)

Arguments

.DF	a data frame to be grouped
...	a string, strings, vector of strings, or list of strings representing column names to be excluded from grouping
.add	When .add = FALSE, the default, dplyr::group_by() will override existing groups. To add to the existing groups, use .add = TRUE.
.drop	When .drop = TRUE, empty groups are dropped.

Value

a grouped version of .DF

Examples

library(dplyr)
DF <- data.frame(a = c(1, 2), b = c(3, 4), c = c(5, 6))
group_by_everything_except(DF) %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "a" "b" "c"
group_by_everything_except(DF, NULL) %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "a" "b" "c"
group_by_everything_except(DF, c()) %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "a" "b" "c"
group_by_everything_except(DF, list()) %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "a" "b" "c"
group_by_everything_except(DF, c) %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "a" "b" "c"
group_by_everything_except(DF, "a") %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "b" "c"
group_by_everything_except(DF, "c") %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "a" "b"
group_by_everything_except(DF, c("a", "c")) %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "b"
group_by_everything_except(DF, c("a")) %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "b" "c"
group_by_everything_except(DF, list("a")) %>% group_vars()
#> [1] "b" "c"
