I have never used it, but I think the reshape and/or reshape2 packages are designed for it.
Check the melt() and cast() functions in these packages... I guess...

Can't you just convert you df as follow  matrix<- as.matrix(s) ?

Double check it as I am a newbie too. :-)

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
