Your code looks fine. What's the problem?
Maybe you didn't assign the result of the operation back to data
? See below for a working example.
data <- data.frame(col1 = c("A", "B", "A", "B"),
col2 = c("C", "B", "A", "C"),
col3 = c("C", "C", "A", "B"),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
str(data)
#> 'data.frame': 4 obs. of 3 variables:
#> $ col1: chr "A" "B" "A" "B"
#> $ col2: chr "C" "B" "A" "C"
#> $ col3: chr "C" "C" "A" "B"
data[, 1:3] <- lapply(data[, 1:3], as.factor)
str(data)
#> 'data.frame': 4 obs. of 3 variables:
#> $ col1: Factor w/ 2 levels "A","B": 1 2 1 2
#> $ col2: Factor w/ 3 levels "A","B","C": 3 2 1 3
#> $ col3: Factor w/ 3 levels "A","B","C": 3 3 1 2
