Try MyMatrix <- structure(list(V2 = c(1, 0.09, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.4), V3 = c(0.09, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.07), V4 = c(0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0.14, 0), V5 = c(0, 0, 0, 1, 0.38, 0, 0, 0), V6 = c(0, 0, 0, 0.38, 1, 0, 0, 0), V7 = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0.07, 0), V8 = c(0, 0, 0.14, 0, 0, 0.07, 1, 0), V9 = c(0.4, 0.07, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)), .Names = c("V2", "V3", "V4", "V5", "V6", "V7", "V8", "V9"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("E985047", "E985071", "E985088", "F952477", "F952478", "J644805", "J644807", "J644813")) MyList <- c("E985088", "F952477", "F952478") inx <- which(rownames(MyMatrix) %in% MyList) result <- lapply(inx, function(i) colSums(MyMatrix[-i, ])) # Not needed, but makes what is what more clear names(result) <- paste("Without", MyList, sep=".") result > > I hope I've been clear!! > I believe you were, but your data is a mess. The structures above were produced with function 'dput', it makes it much, much easier to create the objects. See ?dput and use it!
