try this:
mat <- matrix(rnorm(20), 5, 4,
dimnames = list(letters[1:5], LETTERS[1:4]))
mat[sample(20, 4)] <- NA
ind <- which(is.na(mat), arr.ind = TRUE)
mat
cbind(RowName = rownames(mat)[ind[, 1]],
ColName = colnames(mat)[ind[, 2]])
I hope it helps.
Best,
Dimitris

Hi,
Suppose I have a 3X4 matrix with row names TL, JAR and TM and column
names A, B, C, D. The cell in the first row, third column has an NA. I
want to find the row and column NAMES corresponding to that cell with
the NA. Obviously, I want to extend this to any matrix of any size that
has one or more cells with NAs. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Walt
