> aggregate(.~ id, lapply(df, as.character), FUN = paste, collapse = "") id cycle1 cycle2 cycle3 1 1 cmf cmf cmf 2 2 mfc mfc mfc 3 3 cf cf cf (letter 'a' missing in df[3,c("cycle1",cycle2")] You suggested very interesting approach, however. Those '.~ id' and 'as.character' gave me hope for success. With very best regards Denis У Пят, 21/01/2011 у 14:16 -0200, Henrique Dallazuanna піша: > Try this: > > aggregate(.~ id, lapply(test, as.character), FUN = paste, collapse = > "") > > On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 10:25 AM, Den <d.kazakiew...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear [R] people > Could you please help with following data transformation. > Any suggestions, hints, references and even guessing on > performing any > of the following steps are highly appreciated.
