Pivoting

long to wide from

table4a_long <- table4a %>%
    
    pivot_longer(cols = c('1999', '2000'),
                 names_to = "year",
                 values_to = "cases")

wide to long form

table4a_long %>%
    
    pivot_wider(names_from = year, 
                values_from = cases)

Separating and Uniting

table3_sep <- table3 %>%
    
    separate(col = rate, into = c("cases", "population"))

Unite two columns
