Erin -
Here's a reproducible example that should help answer your question:

set.seed(17)
df = data.frame(a=sample(letters[1:5],250,replace=TRUE),
+                 b=sample(c('A','B'),250,replace=TRUE))
tt = table(df$a,df$b)
100 * prop.table(tt)   # total of all percentages = 100

       A    B
  a 11.2  9.2
  b 12.0  6.8
  c  7.2 10.4
  d 10.8 13.2
  e  8.4 10.8
100 * prop.table(tt,1)   # total of row percentages = 100

           A        B
  a 54.90196 45.09804
  b 63.82979 36.17021
  c 40.90909 59.09091
  d 45.00000 55.00000
  e 43.75000 56.25000
100 * prop.table(tt,2)   # total of column percentages = 100

           A        B
  a 22.58065 18.25397
  b 24.19355 13.49206
  c 14.51613 20.63492
  d 21.77419 26.19048
  e 16.93548 21.42857

Dear R People:

I have generated the following table:

table(zza$DEATH,zza$GENDER)

              F   M
 2009-04-21   0   1
 2009-04-22   4   2
 2009-04-24   6   0
 2009-04-25   1   3
 2009-04-26   2   0
 2009-04-28   3   0
 2009-04-29   2   2

However, instead of total counts in the F and M columns, I would like percents.

How would I do this, please?

thanks,
Erin
