Thank you Petr,

It kinda works, but not completely. The problem is that it produces a column for each value ("Moyenne"), and not each element of "Elem". That means I have only one value per column, instead of up to 3. For example, I have 3 columns for Al1670 instead of just one, and each column contains maximum one value (the others being NA).

Not sure I am being clear...

By the way, I don't understand why my solution did not work; what is wrong there?

Thank you again!
Ivan

Hi

I am not sure if I got it

library(reshape2)
mm<-melt(mydata, measure.vars="Moyenne")
test <- dcast(mm, Etape+Ech+repet+dilution+Rincage~Elem+value)

gives me 3 rows but names need some tweaking afterwards.

nn<-paste("Moyenne", unlist(lapply(strsplit(names(test)[-(1:5)], "_"), "[", 1)), 
sep=".")
names(test)[-(1:5)]<-nn

Cheers
Petr

Subject: [R] help with reshape

Dear users,

I'm having troubles with reshaping a data.frame from long to wide
format.
I copy the output of dput() at the end of the mail because it is quite
long.

Each row of the column "Elem" should be transposed to a new column. All
variables "Etape", "Ech", "repet", "dilution", "Rincage" define the
samples. Meaning that for each unique combination of these variables, I
want a single row, and as many columns as elements in "Elem".

So I tried:
reshape(mydata, timevar="Elem",
idvar=c("Etape","Ech","repet","dilution","Rincage"), direction="wide",
drop=c("ID","Nom_ech"))

The problem is that some columns are not used at all for defining
samples. In this case, the row "S1, F10-3, NA, 1, oui" is missing, but
I don't understand why.

Can you help me with that? I have no idea what I am doing wrong...

Thanks in advance,
Ivan
