Dear Angelo,
I'm afraid that this is badly confused. To use Anova() for repeated measures,
the data must be in "wide" format, with one row per subject. To see how this
works, check out the OBrienKaiser example in ?Anova and ?OBrienKaiser, or for
more detail, the R Journal paper at
<{http://journal.r-project.org/archive/2013-1/RJournal_2013-1_fox-friendly-weisberg.pdf>.
I hope this helps,
John
