Alternatively, just use rev() instead of doing it by hand: > dat <- as.data.frame(matrix(scan(), ncol = 7, byrow = TRUE)) 1: 1985 1.38 1.27 1.84 2.10 0.59 3.47 8: 1986 1.05 1.13 1.21 1.54 0.21 2.14 15: 1987 1.33 1.21 1.77 1.44 0.27 2.85 22: 1988 1.86 1.06 2.33 2.14 0.55 1.40 29: 1989 2.10 0.65 2.74 2.43 1.19 1.45 36: 1990 1.55 0.00 1.59 1.94 0.99 2.14 43: 1991 0.92 0.72 0.50 1.29 0.54 1.22 50: 1992 2.15 1.28 1.23 2.26 1.22 3.17 57: 1993 1.50 0.87 1.68 1.97 0.83 2.55 64: 1994 0.69 0.00 0.76 1.89 0.60 0.87 71: 1995 1.13 1.04 1.19 1.52 1.13 1.78 78: Read 77 items > rownames(dat) <- as.character(dat[,1]) > dat <- dat[,-1] > rc <- nrow(dat) > cs1 <- apply(dat[rc:1,], 2, cumsum)[rc:1,] > cs1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 1985 15.66 9.23 16.84 20.52 8.12 23.04 1986 14.28 7.96 15.00 18.42 7.53 19.57 1987 13.23 6.83 13.79 16.88 7.32 17.43 1988 11.90 5.62 12.02 15.44 7.05 14.58 1989 10.04 4.56 9.69 13.30 6.50 13.18 1990 7.94 3.91 6.95 10.87 5.31 11.73 1991 6.39 3.91 5.36 8.93 4.32 9.59 1992 5.47 3.19 4.86 7.64 3.78 8.37 1993 3.32 1.91 3.63 5.38 2.56 5.20 1994 1.82 1.04 1.95 3.41 1.73 2.65 1995 1.13 1.04 1.19 1.52 1.13 1.78 > cs2 <- apply(dat, 2, function(x) {rev(cumsum(rev(x)))}) > cs2 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 1985 15.66 9.23 16.84 20.52 8.12 23.04 1986 14.28 7.96 15.00 18.42 7.53 19.57 1987 13.23 6.83 13.79 16.88 7.32 17.43 1988 11.90 5.62 12.02 15.44 7.05 14.58 1989 10.04 4.56 9.69 13.30 6.50 13.18 1990 7.94 3.91 6.95 10.87 5.31 11.73 1991 6.39 3.91 5.36 8.93 4.32 9.59 1992 5.47 3.19 4.86 7.64 3.78 8.37 1993 3.32 1.91 3.63 5.38 2.56 5.20 1994 1.82 1.04 1.95 3.41 1.73 2.65 1995 1.13 1.04 1.19 1.52 1.13 1.78 > all.equal(cs1, cs2) [1] TRUE HTH G -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Dr. Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 Pearson Building, [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street, London [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ UK.
