Hi, Try: library(zoo) rollapply(t(mymatrix),width=12,FUN=sum,by.column=T,fill=NA,partial=FALSE,align="left") # [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] #[1,] 342 354 366 378 390 #[2,] 402 414 426 438 450 #[3,] 462 474 486 498 510 #[4,] 522 534 546 558 570 #[5,] 582 594 606 618 630 #[6,] 642 654 666 678 690 #[7,] 702 714 726 738 750 #[8,] 762 774 786 798 810 #[9,] 822 834 846 858 870 #[10,] NA NA NA NA NA #[11,] NA NA NA NA NA #[12,] NA NA NA NA NA #[13,] NA NA NA NA NA #[14,] NA NA NA NA NA #[15,] NA NA NA NA NA #[16,] NA NA NA NA NA #[17,] NA NA NA NA NA #[18,] NA NA NA NA NA #[19,] NA NA NA NA NA #[20,] NA NA NA NA NA A.K.
