As expected since the column year is a column of numbers and is printed with the appropriate number of decimals for each column. You can get what you want in two ways. I've called your initital dataframe DF. First transpose DF, then set the column names to the contents of the year row and finally delete the first row (the year row). DF.t <- t(DF) colnames(DF.t) <- DF.t["year",] DF.t <- DF.t[-1,] DF.t The second method is to put DF in the form you apparently want and then transpose. So set the rownames of DF to the column "year", delete the year column and then transpose. rownames(DF) <- DF[,"year"] DF <- DF[,-1] t(DF) Berend ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
