Try vectorizing instead of a loop: > da <- matrix(nrow=10,ncol=10) > n <- sample(1:100, 40) > da[n[1:20]] <- 99 > da[n[21:40]] <- 199 > X <- ifelse(is.na(da), NA, ifelse(da <= 100, 1, 0)) > > > X [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [1,] NA NA NA NA NA 1 NA NA NA NA [2,] NA NA 1 0 NA NA NA NA NA NA [3,] 1 NA 0 1 1 NA 0 0 1 NA [4,] NA NA 0 NA 1 1 1 0 NA NA [5,] NA NA 0 NA 1 1 1 1 NA NA [6,] NA NA 0 0 NA 0 NA NA 0 NA [7,] 1 NA 1 NA NA NA NA 1 NA NA [8,] NA NA NA NA NA 0 1 0 NA 1 [9,] 1 NA NA 1 0 0 0 0 NA NA [10,] NA 0 NA NA 0 NA 0 NA NA NA >
