The variables are factors and I would like to perform a ChiSquare  
Test, comparing for example X1(first Table)
to X1(secondTable)(Null Hypothesis: Variables are equal)
Depending on the variables are the factor levels  1 up to 9.
But as you immediately see, there is often more than one answer per  
species in the variables (Example 129).
My question is now: how can I say to R that these numbers have to be  
treated separately? In the example as a 1, a 2 and a 9 and not as 129)

I really hope you understand what I mean. If not please ask me.

I would be very pleased, if somebody could help me.

Greetings

Birgit
