Reconciling Budget Changes: A Step-by-Step Analysis of Revised Budget Plans in R
Here is the complete and correct R code to solve this problem: # We create Dataset 1, with spending function (COFOG) and economic category. df1 <- tibble(spending_line = c("Programme A","Programme A", "Programme A", "Programme A", "Programme B", "Programme B", "Programme B", "Programme B"), spending_function_COFOG = c("7. Health", "7. Health", "7. Health", "7. Health", "10. Social Protection", "10. Social Protection", "10. Social Protection", "10. Social Protection"), original_revised = c("Original", "Original", "Revised", "Revised", "Original", "Original", "Revised", "Revised"), economic_category = c("Staff pay", "Purchase of goods and services", "Staff pay", "Purchase of goods and services", "Grants to individuals", "Staff pay", "Grants to individuals", "Staff pay"), amount = c(7900, 2000, 8500, 2100, 5000, 2500, 3000, 2500)) # We create Dataset 2, which gives us insight into what has driven the changes in the revised budget plans.
