Hi, I would like to compare values in two table with same column and row names, but with different orders in column and row names. For example, table_A in a file looks like the follows: AA100 AA109 AA101 AA103 AA102 BB1 2 9 2.3 1 28 BB3 12 9 2.3 1 28 BB9 0.5 2 2.3 1 28 BB2 2 9 21 1 20
Table_B in the other file looks like the follows: AA101 AA109 AA100 AA103 AA102 BB1 2 9 2.3 2 28 BB2 2 9 2.3 1 28 BB9 2 9 2.3 1 28 BB3 2 2 2 1 28 Can anyone give an efficient way to make the two tables having same orders in column and row names so I can easily and correctly compare the values in positions?
