Hi,

Let's say your data.frame is called df:
df <- data.frame(a=rnorm(10), b=rnorm(10))
data.matrix <- as.matrix(df)

This should work, but be careful with coercion if you have different modes in your data.frame

HTH,
Ivan

PS: next time, provide a reproducible example, using dput() for example

Hello

I'm a new in R
I have a large data.frame "s" (this is actualy just a table in mysql) :

names(s)
[1] "symbols", "day", "value"

I need to convert it to simple matrix. I have define this matrix like this:

data.matrix<- matrix(nrow=nDays, ncol=nSymbols, dimnames=list(days,
symbols))

then i just copy values to the matrix using for() loop, but it seems to take
very long time. Is is a more fast way to do it in R? I know, what i can just
gyve s$value as source data to the matrix, but problem is, what for some
symbols couple days could be just missed.

Cheers,
Dima
