I am not sure if you are successful in your clarifying. > > 1. AA[1] is 4. As so, I would have to compare A1[1] = 20 and A2[1] =3 with I can not see A1[1]=20 in your example data. > A[1,] AA A1 A2 4 3 3 gives me this. > > B1 B2 B3 > B[3,2:4] 7 11 NA Why B[3,]? > > beacause BB[3]=4.

A[3,] AA A1 A2 4 5 5 B[3,] BB B1 B2 B3 4 7 11 NA I must say I am completely lost. Maybe you could try to present a code with your toy data which give desired result but is too slow with original data. Regards Petr > > 2.
