Petr, thank you very much for the help, I think this will work... It seems like this will generate 33 columns and 1000 rows with calculated values, which is fine. I also simply used the function x=d + dnext, which generated another 33 columns and 1000 rows object with the cell contents added up. In my example moving forward from here I will cut down the sample size as you suggested, so using the following code we will get a matrix of 10 rows and 5 columns: y <-matrix(1:50,ncol=5) In the next step i would need to find in each row the values that are greater then a pre-specified value (any random number can be picked for the purpose of presenting the example, lets pick the number 13). I do not actually need to know what the value is, I would just need to know the total number of cells in a row which contain values of > 13 out of the 5 of them per row, then I need to multiply that count by 0.25 for each row and place them in an object , lets call that x (this could also be a matrix perhaps with 1 column). 1. So in the 1st row of y in my example this would be 3, 2nd row is 3, third is 3, 4th is 4, 5th is 4, and so on... 2. let's multiply them with 0.25 to create x : so 1st is 3*0.25, 2nd is 3*0.25, 3rd is 3*0.25, 4th is 4*0.25, 5th is 4*0.25, and so on.... finally, I would need to find the total number of cells in this newly created x that are greater then z, lets make that z = 0.8. based on the example data matrix of y this final number should be 7. Would you mind sharing your input on how to accomplish that? thanks, Andras
