It would depend on the format of the gridded data. Assuming it is a data frame
like DF2 in my earlier answer, you just reverse the steps:
> DF2
110.5 111 111.5 112
46 6.1 4.5 7.8 5.5
45.5 3.2 5.0 1.8 2.0
> DF3 <- data.frame(as.table(as.matrix(DF2)))
Var1 Var2 Freq
1 46 110.5 6.1
2 45.5 110.5 3.2
3 46 111 4.5
4 45.5 111 5.0
5 46 111.5 7.8
6 45.5 111.5 1.8
7 46 112 5.5
8 45.5 112 2.0
But the latitude and longitude get converted to factors and we lose the column
names:
> DF3 <- data.frame(as.table(as.matrix(DF2)))
> colnames(DF3) <- c("latitude", "longitude", "Precip")
> DF3$latitude <- as.numeric(as.character(DF3$latitude))
> DF3$longitude <- as.numeric(as.character(DF3$longitude))

Thanks, Sarah's answer helps the question. Now how to change the gridded data
back to DF1 format? I don't know how to name the format, thanks.

Sarah's answer is probably better depending on what you want to do with the
resulting data, but here's a way to go from your original DF1 to DF2:

If you want an actual spatial dataset, the best place to ask is R-sig-geo
R has substantial capabilities for dealing with gridded spatial data,
including in the sp, raster, and sf packages.
Here's one approach, creating a SpatialGridDataFrame, which can be
exported in any standard raster format using the rgdal package.
DF2 <- DF1
coordinates(DF2) <- ~longitude + latitude
gridded(DF2) <- TRUE
fullgrid(DF2) <- TRUE
I recommend Roger Bivand's excellent book:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.springer.com_us_book_9781461476177&d=DwMFaQ&c=ODFT-G5SujMiGrKuoJJjVg&r=veMGHMCNZShld-KX-bIj4jRE_tP9ojUvB_Lqp0ieSdk&m=vZqNKoDe8N1TzBzeK12g2oa0cBS8VD6NDCs-hUhvt5o&s=B73PwZQrdKUmM1ML2Y5zjaEz7xqkHlzBDCrhluogK2U&e=
and there are abundant web tutorials.
