Not really, because you haven't given us enough information to answer your questions. > I have two Matrices: What is a matrix? Do you mean a list? A numpy array? The best thing is to show us the code you already have. We don't need to see ALL your code, just the relevant part that creates the two matrices. > 1 – masterMatrix – A 2d matrix containing items in the rows and time as > the columns column headers (time beginning from 00:00 to 23:45 at every 15 > minutes interval (96 columns e.g. 00:00 | 00:15 . . . .23:45). this matrix > provides a value of each item in the list a every 14 minutes. > > 2 – subMatrix – A matrix which has to be populate based on selected items > and times from masterMatrix How do you select the items that you want? > What would be the fastest way to first initialise the subMatrix and > populate the workingTable based on the matching values in masterTable. That's like asking: "What's the shortest piece of string to tie two things together?" Um, it depends on which two things, it depends on how secure you need the tie to be... we need more detail. -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
