Hi Silvano I cannot use the data and function as the data is not available to me
for the xtable part using data from xtable try as an example to see if it fits your needs data(tli) head(tli) for(j in 1:5){ xx <- xtable(tli[1:6,]); caption(xx) <- paste("Table", j); print(xx); if(j < 5) cat("\n\n")} You can amend the xtable part to suit -- the cat command gives some spacing Regards Duncan Duncan Mackay Department of Agronomy and Soil Science University of New England Armidale NSW 2351 Email: home: mac...@northnet.com.au -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Silvano Cesar da Costa Sent: Thursday, 9 January 2014 04:24 To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Function inside Sweave Hi, I have a data set involving 25 Questions (Q1, Q2, ... , Q25), 100 Disciplina and 5 series. The variables are: ALUNO DISCIPLINA SERIE TURMA Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 ... Q25 I want to create tables associating each of the 25 questions to the Disciplina. Something like: tab1 = table(DISCIPLINA, Q1) tab1.prop = round(100*prop.table(tab1, 1), 2) tab1.txt = xtable(tab1.prop, align="l|rrrrr", label='Q1', caption=c("Apresentação da proposta de programa a ser desenvolvida na disciplina", "Q1")) print(tab1.txt, format.args=list(big.mark = ".", decimal.mark = ","), caption.placement='top', table.placement='H') With the help of a friend, was created the following function: require(xtable) DISCIPLINA <- rep(c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E"), 5) for (i in 1:25){ aux <- paste("Q", i, sep="") assign(aux, sample(rep(seq(1:5),5))) } cria.tabela <- function(Questao){ Questao1 <- get(Questao) tab1 <- table(DISCIPLINA, Questao1) tab1.prop = round(100*prop.table(tab1, 1), 2) tab1.txt = xtable(tab1.prop, align="l|rrrrr", label=Questao, caption=paste(Questao)) print(tab1.txt, format.args=list(big.mark = ".", decimal.mark = ","), caption.placement='top', table.placement='H') } geral <- function(){ for (i in 1:25){ x<-paste("Q", i, sep="") cria.tabela(x) } } geral() I need to change the variable DISCIPLINA created in the function by the variable DISCIPLINA in my dataset, but not working. Reading data was taken with: require(foreign) require(xtable) dados = read.epiinfo('C:/Colegiado de Veterinária/Dados/A2013/A2013.rec') head(dados) tail(dados) str(dados) attach(dados) serie_1 = subset(dados, SERIE=='1') head(serie_1) tail(serie_1) attach(serie_1) How can I do this?
