Hi Uwe, thanks for your help. I didn't know that function (mea culpa)... With merge() it works what I want to do. But I'm still interessted, for a learning purpose, why the loop didn't work. So here are the str() results:
> str(cluster) int [1:18, 1:2] 12051000 12052000 12053000 12054000 12060000 12061000 12062000 12063000 12064000 12065000 ... - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2 ..$ : chr [1:18] "1" "2" "3" "4" ... ..$ : chr [1:2] "Kreis" "Cluster" > str(KreisSA) num [1:2302, 1:2] 12069000 12072000 12067000 12060000 12070000 ... - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2 ..$ : NULL ..$ : chr [1:2] "Kreis" "Cluster" Thanks for your help.
