Show us the code you used. Don't just tell us what you did. It is likely that something you did after creating the matrix converted it to a data frame. Copy and paste your code to your emails.
> str(mydf)
'data.frame': 3 obs. of 3 variables:
$ x: int 0 NA NA
$ y: int 5 0 NA
$ z: int 67 23 0
> data.frame(as.table(as.matrix(mydf)))
Var1 Var2 Freq
1 x x 0
2 y x NA
3 z x NA
4 x y 5
5 y y 0
6 z y NA

str(mymatrix)
The Structure shows that this is a 'data.frame'? of 120 obs. and 120 variables
of numeric type. R deals with my matrix as a data frame although I used
the function matrix() to produce this matrix which is not clear to me why. As this is already a data.frame, this may explains why R returns me the same
matrix. What do you recommend now?
Many thanks

You did not give me any information about about your data using str() or class() so I'll guess that you have a matrix, e.g.:
> class(moredata)
[1] "matrix"
> as.data.frame.table(moredata)
Var1 Var2 Freq
1 x x 0
2 y x NA
3 z x NA
4 x y 5
5 y y 0
6 z y NA
7 x z 67
8 y z 23
9 z z 0

Dear David ..,
Many thanks for this detailed answer.
Your guidance reg. the first task has resolved my issue and I have understood now how to perform this type of analysis. I have saved your learning tips in my script.
Reg. the Matrix-table conversion, could you please clarify this more?.
I applied the function as.data.frame but this returned the same matrix
without converting it into a list table. I'm not sure where is the problem
in my code : mymatrix <- as.data.frame(mymatrix).
Many thanks for your support
Regards

First. Do not use html messages, only plain text. Second. Provide a small example data set, preferably using dput(). Just printing your data can hide important information. Third. Read the documentation. Your first example does not return a logical vector at all:
> dput(mydata)
structure(list(Col1 = c(123L, 443L, 566L), Col2 = c(566L, 54L,
44L), Col3 = c(235L, 566L, 235L)), .Names = c("Col1", "Col2",
"Col3"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -3L))
> which(mydata == 566,235)
row col
[1,] 3 1
[2,] 1 2
[3,] 2 3
It locates cells with 566, but not 235 which is not a surprise because you did not provide a valid logical expression to which().
There are a number of ways to get what you want, but since you want to process rows, apply() is straightforward:
> Val566 <- apply(mydata, 1, function(x) any(x == 566))
> Val566
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE
> Val235 <- apply(mydata, 1, function(x) any(x == 235))
> Val235
[1] TRUE FALSE TRUE
> which(Val235 & Val566)
[1] 1 3
You should read the manual pages on any(), apply(), dput() and which() and logical expressions:
> ?apply
> ?any
> ?dput
> ?which
> ?Comparison # ?"==" will also get you there.
For the second question, assuming you are beginning with a table object as R defines that term and not a matrix (since all tables are matrices, but all matrices are not tables):
> dput(moredata)
structure(c(0L, NA, NA, 5L, 0L, NA, 67L, 23L, 0L), .Dim = c(3L,
3L), .Dimnames = list(c("x", "y", "z"), c("x", "y", "z")), class = "table")
> moredata
x y z
x 0 5 67
y NA 0 23
z NA NA 0
Note, that your example uses na rather than NA. R is case sensitive so na is just an ordinary character string while NA is a missing value indicator. This is one of the reasons that dput() is important
> moredata.df <- as.data.frame(moredata)
> moredata.df
Var1 Var2 Freq
1 x x 0
2 y x NA
3 z x NA
4 x y 5
5 y y 0
6 z y NA
7 x z 67
8 y z 23
9 z z 0
> moredata.df[order(moredata.df$Freq, decreasing=TRUE), ]
Var1 Var2 Freq
7 x z 67
8 y z 23
4 x y 5
1 x x 0
5 y y 0
9 z z 0
2 y x NA
3 z x NA
6 z y NA
For this you should read the following manual pages:
> ?as.data.frame
> ?order
> ?Extract

Hi All
I'm trying to identify number of rows containing 2 specific values.
I tried : which(mydata == 566,235), but this returns logical values for all rows and any T in a certain row indicates the existence of one of these values but what I need to know is only number of rows in my data set with these 2 particular values considering these two values
as one pair per column. For example :
1 123 566 235
2 443 54 566
3 566 44 235
here number of rows with the values 566&235 is 2 which are
rows 1 & 3. Row 2 has only 566 so it should not be included in
our calculation.
I also have a large matrix and wanted to convert it into a table so I can
easily identify the combination with higher frequencies.
The matrix looks like this:
x y z
x 0 5 67
y na 0 23
z na na 0
and I would like to convert this into a table arranged with
higher values first like this :
x z 67
y z 23
x y 5
x x 0
y y 0
z z 0
y x na
z x na
z y na
Is there simple function to perform this conversion with some explanation about the Syntax
Regards
