# How to convert a table into matrix in R?

R ProgrammingServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

To convert a table into matrix in R, we can use apply function with as.matrix.noquote function.

For example, if we have a table called TABLE then we can convert it into a matrix by using the command given below −

apply(as.matrix.noquote(TABLE),2,as.numeric)

## Example 1

Following snippet creates a dataframe −

x1<-rpois(200,20)
x1

## Output

The following dataframe is created −

[1] 26 21 18 23 24 19 19 22 21 22 23 20 36 19 17 19 20 14 18 20 18 16 30 24 27

To convert a table into matrix in R, add the following code to the above snippet −

x1<-rpois(200,20)
table1<-table(x1)
table1

## Output

If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following output −

x1
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 33 34 36

To convert a table into matrix in R, add the following code to the above snippet −

x1<-rpois(200,20)
table1<-table(x1)
table1_df<-data.frame(table1)
apply(as.matrix.noquote(table1_df),2,as.numeric)
