What you're really saying is that you don't care about the distinction between
"aa", "bb" and "cc". In that case, a different arrangement of the data will be
more useful:
library (reshape )
df.melt <- melt ( df, id.var = "dd")
with ( df.melt, table ( dd, value ) )

Subject: Re: [R] crosstabulation and unlist function
Hello,
First of all, thank you David for your reply, but sadly this is not what i
wanted (i am sorry for not being more specific about my problem!)
aa<-c(1:5)
bb<-c(NA,2,NA,4,5)
cc<-c(1,2,NA,4,NA)
dd<-c("A","B","B","A","C")
table(unlist(df[,1:3]))
> df
aa bb cc dd
1 1 NA 1 A
2 2 2 2 B
3 3 NA NA B
4 4 4 4 A
5 5 5 NA C
I do not want to get this:
> tapply(apply(df[,1:3],1,sum, na.rm=TRUE), df$dd, sum)
A B C
14 6 10
but a crosstabulation between table(unlist(df[,1:3])) and df$dd, which should
look something like this:
1 2 3 4 5
A 2 0 0 3 0
B 0 3 1 0 0
C 0 0 0 0 2
meaning that when dd is A 1 appears 2 times, 2 doesn't appear, 3 doesn't
appear, 4 appears 3times, 5 doesn't appear; when dd is C only 5 appears 2 times
(i am not really interested in the NA occurence).
Hopefully, this time my question was a lot more clear.
Thank you very much !

This method is safer than working on table(unlist(df[, 1:3]) since it does not
"break" when an entire row is empty.

1 2 4 5
2 3 3 2 # missing row willno longer be aligned with "dd".

Error in tapply(table(unlist(df[, 1:3])), df$dd, sum) :
arguments must have same length
