A complementary function (intended to be used in **R**) has been developed:

```r

ISO_memcol = function(df, #Input dataframe

                      orgtosearch #org id

) {

  ind = match(orgtosearch, unlist(df[1, "org_id"]))

  or = lapply(1:nrow(df), function(x)

    unlist(df[x, "org_member"])[ind])

  or = data.frame(matrix(unlist(or)), stringsAsFactors = F)

  names(or) = orgtosearch

  df2 = as.data.frame(cbind(df, or, stringsAsFactors = F))

  return(df2)

}

```
