The simplest would be to create a variable combining region and district: > data$region_district <- with(data, paste(region, district)) > prop.table(xtabs(~region_district+response, data), 1) response region_district no yes A d 0.5 0.5 A e 0.0 1.0 B f 0.5 0.5 B g 0.5 0.5 C h 0.5 0.5 C i 0.0 1.0 C j 1.0 0.0
