This will give you a matrix with the row/column names of the respective values. Not sure what you meant by a list, but you can convert the matrix to a list. > m2 a b c d e A 1 5 9 13 17 B 2 6 10 14 18 C 3 7 11 15 19 D 4 8 12 16 20 > cbind(row=rownames(m2)[row(m2)[lower.tri(m2)]], + col=colnames(m2)[col(m2)[lower.tri(m2)]], + value=m2[lower.tri(m2)]) row col value [1,] "B" "a" "2" [2,] "C" "a" "3" [3,] "D" "a" "4" [4,] "C" "b" "7" [5,] "D" "b" "8" [6,] "D" "c" "12"
