I'm quite new to R.

The column "Popularity" of my dataSet "shp_poly1_simplified" consists of high numbers, partly millions. How can I change the notation in my code snippet from exponential notation to writing out the whole integer?

Here is what I have so far:

labels <- sprintf(
  "<strong>%s</strong><br/>%g People / 2020 </sup>",
  shp_poly1_simplified$UNIT_NAME, shp_poly1_simplified$Popularity
) %>%
  lapply(htmltools::HTML)

When I use "%1.0f", just like this:

labels <- sprintf("%1.0f",
  "<strong>%s</strong><br/>%g People / 2020 </sup>",
  shp_poly1_simplified$UNIT_NAME, shp_poly1_simplified$Popularity
) %>%
  lapply(htmltools::HTML)

there occurs the error:

Error in sprintf("%.0f", "<strong>%s</strong><br/>%g People / 2020 </sup>",  : 
  invalid format '%.0f'; use format %s for character objects

Thank you very much.

`%.0f People` works for me – rawr Jun 28 '22 at 18:28
Thank you @rwar .Where exactly would you place "%.0f People" ? – Nevin Jun 28 '22 at 18:30
`sprintf( "%s
%.0f People / 2020 ", shp_poly1_simplified$UNIT_NAME, shp_poly1_simplified$Popularity` – rawr Jun 28 '22 at 19:19
