Hi, David:

Thank you so much for your answer.

I just added some commands and got what I wanted.

The final command would be something like this:


A= data.frame(c("c", "d", "e"),4.4:6.8,c(1,2,3))
colnames(A) <- c ("Family", "NormalizedCount", "Hits")
A
B= data.frame(c("c", "f", "a"),c(3.2,6.4, 4.4), c(1,4,3))
colnames(B) <- c ("Family", "NormalizedCount", "Hits")
B
C= data.frame(c("q", "o", "f"),c(7.2,9.4, 41.4), c(10,4,5))
colnames(C) <- c ("Family", "NormalizedCount", "Hits")
C
mylist <- list(A=A,B=B,C=C)
mylist
ID <- names(mylist)
mylist <- Map(data.frame, mylist, dfn=ID)
mydf <- do.call(rbind, mylist)
mydf$Family <- factor(mydf$Family, levels=sort(levels(mydf$Family)))
z <- xtabs(Hits~Family+dfn, mydf)
x <- as.data.frame(z)
x
library(reshape2)
y <- dcast(x, Family ~ dfn, value.var = "Freq")
y


Thank you very much.

Andre
