Hi, Try: dat1<- read.table(text=" 1 10 3 5 0 0 ",sep="",header=FALSE) dat2<- read.table(text=" 2 10 0 0 3 5 ",sep="",header=FALSE) res<-with(rbind(dat1,dat2),aggregate(V2~V1,FUN=sum)) res1<-res[res[,1]!=0,] res1 # V1 V2 #2 1 10 #3 2 10 #4 3 10
#or library(data.table) dt1<- data.table(rbind(dat1,dat2)) dt2<-subset(dt1[,sum(V2),by=V1],V1!=0) setnames(dt2,2,"V2") dt2 # V1 V2 #1: 1 10 #2: 3 10 #3: 2 10 A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Anindya Sankar Dey <anindy...@gmail.com> To: r-help <r-help@r-project.org> Cc: Sent: Friday, August 23, 2013 8:59 AM Subject: [R] Combining two tables without going through lot of ifelse statement HI All, Suppose I have two table like below Table 1: 1 10 3 5 0 0 Table 2: 2 10 0 0 3 5 I need to create a new table like below Table 3: 1 10 2 10 3 10 The row may interchange in table 3, but is there any way to do this instead of writing lot of if-else and loops?
