    `str(yourdataframe)` or `library(dplyr) glimpse(yourdataframe)` or `library(dplyr) library(tibble) yourdataframe %>% as_tibble` ...etc.. – TarJae Nov 22 '22 at 19:53

    It's easier to help you if you include a simple [reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) with sample input and desired output that can be used to test and verify possible solutions. Please [do not post code or data in images](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/285551/2372064). It's not clear what "category" and "sub-category" you are referring to. – MrFlick Nov 22 '22 at 20:14

you can change a column data type using the following commands (depending on the data type you want) :

dataframeName$colName <- as.factor(datataframeName$colName)
dataframeName$colName <- as.numeric(datataframeName$colName)
