[R] List creation based on matrix

[Benjamin Gillespie]

Hi Arun,

I've just run through that - thanks so much, it worked perfectly. Learnt lots of new commands too :)

Thanks for all your help - awesome!

ps. the only thing I changed was to remove the '0' from the first line after 'paste'.

Hi,

Couldn't find your attachment.
But, from Nabble, I saw the data.
Try this:dat1<-data.frame(Species=paste0("Species",1:6),Site1=c(5,NA,4,NA,3,NA),Site2=c(4,NA,4,4,NA,4),Site3=c(NA,5,NA,NA,NA,NA),Site4=c(NA,NA,NA,6,5,NA))
dat2<-melt(dat1)
dat3<-dat2[!is.na(dat2$value),]
dat3<-dat3[,1:2]
colnames(dat3)[2]<-"Site"
dat3$Species<-gsub(".*(\\d)","\\1",dat3$Species)
 dat3$Site<-gsub(".*(\\d)","\\1",dat3$Site)
 dat4<-dat3[,c(2,1)]
 dat4
 rownames(dat4)<-1:nrow(dat4)
 dat4
#   Site Species
#1     1       1
#2     1       3
#3     1       5
#4     2       1
#5     2       3
#6     2       4
#7     2       6
#8     3       2
#9     4       4
#10    4       5

Not much can be done easier in Excel. If you do not fail to provide data you could get better answers.
