Hi all,
Sorry i forgot to mention there a species present in one matrix not in the other
hence the problem i.e matrix 1 may have species E which isnt present in matrix 2
and matrix 2 may have species F not present in matrix 1.
Sorry for the lack of clarification in the original post!

Hi,
I have two matrices with a common field = species what i want to do is make a
matrix that combines the data held in the other two based on the species name.
I.e ( simple example)
Matrix 1 - monocot
SPECIES V1
A 2
B 3
C 4
D 5
Matrix 2 - PCAresults
SPECIES V2
A 0.2
B 0.3
C 4.1
D 3.2
matrix 3 - What i want
SPECIES V1 V2
A 2 0.2
B 3 0.3
C 4 4.1
D 5 3.2
my attempt has been this
test <-monocot[which(monocot$SPECIES%in%PCAresults$SPECIES),]
But this returns matrix with only those found in each but doesn't
"import" the data from PCAresults
Any help would be greatly appreciated
John
