Hallo Francesca If you had an object with correct setting, something like template
> dput(res) structure(list(V1 = c("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8"), V2 = c(2, 7, 10, 4, 9, 5, 2, 6)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8")) you could merge it with your object where some values are missing > dput(daf) structure(list(X1 = c(6L, 9L, NA, 5L, NA, NA, 4L, 2L, 2L, NA, NA, NA, 5L, 9L, NA, NA, 10L, 7L, 2L, NA, 7L, NA, NA, NA, NA, 2L, 4L, 6L, 10L, NA, NA, NA), X2 = c(8L, 5L, 1L, 6L, 7L, 2L, 4L, 7L, 7L, 3L, 2L, 4L, 6L, 5L, 5L, 6L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 7L, 2L, 8L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 1L, 4L, 8L, 3L, 3L, 8L, 1L)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -32L)) > merge(daf, res, by.x="X2", by.y="V1") X2 X1 V2 1 1 NA 2 2 1 NA 2 3 1 2 2 4 1 2 2 5 2 NA 7 6 2 NA 7 7 2 7 7 8 2 7 7 9 3 10 10 10 3 NA 10 11 3 10 10 12 3 NA 10 13 4 4 4 14 4 NA 4 15 4 4 4 16 4 NA 4 17 5 9 9 18 5 NA 9 19 5 NA 9 Cheers.
