Dear Rxperts,
q <- data.frame(p=rep(c("A","B"),each=10,len=30),
a=rep(c(1,2,3),each=10),id=seq(30),
b=round(runif(30,10,20)),
c=round(runif(30,40,70)))
The operation below...
tabular(((p=factor(p))*(a=factor(a))+1) ~ (N = 1) + (b + c)*
(mean+sd),data=q)
yields some rows of NAs and NaN as shown below

              b               c
p a   N  mean  sd    mean  sd
A 1   10 16.30 2.497 52.30  9.358

How do I remove the rows having N=0 ?
I would like the resulting table look like..
              b               c
p a   N  mean  sd    mean  sd
A 1   10 16.30 2.497 52.30  9.358
      3   10 15.60 2.716 60.30  8.001
B  2   10 15.40 2.366 57.70 10.414
    All 30 15.77 2.473 56.77  9.601

Here's a bit of a hack:

tabular( (`p a`=interaction(p,a, drop=TRUE, sep=" ")) ~ (N = 1) + (b + c)*
      (mean+sd),data=q)

          b           c
   p a N  mean sd     mean sd
   A 1 10 12.8 0.7888 52.1 8.020
   B 2 10 16.3 3.0569 54.9 8.711
   A 3 10 14.6 3.7771 56.5 6.980

I have been rather hoping that Duncan Murdoch would have noticed the earlier 
thread, but maybe he can comment on whether there is a more direct route/


This isn't something that the package is designed to handle:  if you say
p*a, it wants all combinations of p and a.

If I wanted a table like that, I'd use a different hack.  One
possibility is to create that interaction column, but display it as just
the initial letter, labelled p, and then add another column to contain
the a values as data.  It would be tricky to get the formatting right.

Another possibility is to generate the whole table with the N=0 rows,
and then post-process it to remove those rows, and adjust the row labels
appropriately.  This approach probably gives the nicer result, but the
post-processing is quite messy:  you need to delete some rows from the
table, from its rowLabels attribute, and from the justification
attributes of both the table and its rowLabels.  (I should add a [
method to the package to hide this messiness.)

I've done this now, in version 0.7.54 on R-forge. To leave out the rows with N=0, you can select a subset of the table where N (the first column) is non-zero:

tab <- tabular(((p=factor(p))*(a=factor(a))+1) ~ (N = 1) + (b + c)*(mean+sd),data=q)

tab[ tab[,1] > 0, ]

and it produces this:

         b           c
 p a   N  mean  sd    mean sd
 A 1   10 16.20 3.458 56.3 10.155
   3   10 13.60 2.119 58.1  8.075
 B 2   10 14.40 2.547 51.2  9.438
   All 30 14.73 2.888 55.2  9.419

Indexing of tables isn't as general as indexing of matrices, but most of the simple forms should work. I haven't tested yet, but I expect this will be fine in LaTeX or HTML (also new, not on CRAN yet) output as well.
