Hi, You can also try: library(reshape2) dcast(as.data.frame(as.table(by(warpbreaks[,1],warpbreaks[,-1],sum))),wool~tension, value.var="Freq")

The function worked however the output is in a class called 'by'. Not familiar with this class. How can I turn the output into a nice table where columns represent values of factor1, row represent values of factor2 and the entries in the table are the sums that were calculated using the by function? I did some web search which suggested using do.call(rbind, datframe_object) but this command gave the following error: "Second argument must be a list"...
