Hi, Is there a quick way to go from this matrix: > A [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 1 1 [2,] 2 2 2 [3,] 3 3 3 [4,] 4 4 4 [5,] 5 NA 5 [6,] NA NA 6 [7,] NA NA NA
to this matrix: > B [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 NA NA [2,] 2 NA 1 [3,] 3 1 2 [4,] 4 2 3 [5,] 5 3 4 [6,] NA 4 5 [7,] NA NA 6 without using a loop? For example using a vector which describes how many NA's are required from the "top" of the matrix- so in this case it would be c(0,2,1).
