Hello,I quite understand that apply is doing what it is supposed to do. I
actually found that example online. However, "apply" package is not
compatible with R 3.2.2 and as a result, I could not use the code. That is why I
am asking for an alternative to "apply" that can be used to do the
same thing.
Regards

 Df.1$D looks correct to me. For example, in the third row, 7*2=14 is
correct with the NA removed.
