Try this: d1 <- data.frame(d1) d1$V3 <- as.numeric(as.character(d1$V3)) xtabs(V3 ~ r1+c1, data=d1)
You can substitute 0 with NA: d1.tb <- xtabs(V3 ~ r1+c1, data=d1) d1.tb[d1.tb==0] <- NA On 24/01/2008, Srinivas Iyyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear group, > I have a data.frame (d1) with various elements and a > matrix (m1) created with NA (or 1s).
