Hmmm...The project i am working on does not necessitate the 27 matrix array, but i it will down the line. Im guessing the "all of that" is complicated? I figured, it would be by the time it took me to figure out that i dont possess the skills to craft the correct code. If there is anyone willing to give it a shot i would appreciate it.

Perhaps a 27-dimensional array may not be the wisest choice of data structure for your goal.

As you can see from my sample code i have yet to master building efficient code. I can sort of do what i want but its very cumbersome code and i know there is a better way to do it, i am just not expereinced enought yet. So for the following: #Create Data h1i1a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i1a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i1a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i2a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i2a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i2a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i3a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i3a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i3a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i4a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i4a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h1i4a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i1a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i1a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i1a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i2a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i2a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i2a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i3a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i3a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i3a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i4a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i4a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h2i4a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i1a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i1a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i1a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i2a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i2a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i2a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i3a1<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i3a2<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) h3i3a3<-sample(1:20, 5, replace=TRUE) #Put into data frame hia<-data.frame(h1i1a1,h1i1a2,h1i1a3,h1i2a1,h1i2a2,h1i2a3,h1i3a1,h1i3a2,h1i3a3,h1i4a1,h1i4a2,h1i4a3,h2i1a1,h2i1a2,h2i1a3,h2i2a1,h2i2a2,h2i2a3,h2i3a1,h2i3a2,h2i3a3,h2i4a1,h2i4a2,h2i4a3,h3i1a1,h3i1a2,h3i1a3,h3i2a1,h3i2a2,h3i2a3,h3i3a1,h3i3a2,h3i3a3) i would like to produce a multidimensional array that looks something like h1 h2 h3 i1 X X X i2 X X X i3 X X X a = 1 , TAZ = 1:5 ->for all 5 TAZ values or each row h1 h2 h3 i1 X X X i2 X X X i3 X X X a = 2 , TAZ = i in 1:5 h1 h2 h3 i1 X X X i2 X X X i3 X X X a = 3 , TAZ = i in 1:5 Basically a matrix for all possible combination, so 27 matrices altogether. But i guess its more like an array of arrays? Again i am not being lazy, i have been working on this all day but my code, like my sample stuff is very inefficient and ultimately not working well so im not bothering to post it. I know this will be complicated so thank you in advance, seeing the end code will teach me a great deal.
