Luma -
   If I understand you correctly, I think the easiest way
to get what you want is to use the reshape function on
the output from aggregate:

reshape(Count.Cells,idvar=c('Var1','Var2'),timevar='Var3',direction='wide')
  Var1 Var2 dummy.D dummy.I
1   S1   T1       2       2
2   S2   T1       2       2
3   S1   T2       2       2
7   S2   T2      NA       4

Dear all,

I am having trouble creating summary tables using aggregate function.

given the following table:


Var1   Var2    Var3   dummy
S1       T1         I         1
S1       T1         I         1
S1       T1         D        1
S1       T1         D        1
S1       T2         I         1
S1       T2         I         1
S1       T2         D        1
S1       T2         D        1
S2       T1         I         1
S2       T1         I         1
S2       T1         D        1
S2       T1         D        1
S2       T2         I         1
S2       T2         I         1
S2       T2         I        1
S2       T2         I        1


I want to create a summary table that shows for each category of Var1,
Var2, the number of cells that are Var3=D and Var3-I :

        Var1 Var2  Var3(D)   Var3(I)
        S1     T1    2              2
        S1     T2    2              2
        S2     T1    2              2
        S2     T2    0              4



However, if I do: Count.Cells=  aggregate(dummy~ Var1+Var2+Var3, FUN='sum')
, I get:

          Var1 Var2  Var3 Count of Resp
           S1     T1     D        2
           S1     T1     I          2
           S1     T2     D        2
           S1     T2     I         2
           S2     T1     D       2
           S2      T1    I        2
           S2     T2     I        4


Is there a way to get different columns for each Var3 level?


Thank you for any help you can give!
