Im not sure if you’re asking a question or confirming that it works for you. But, obviously, the code below behaves as expected

For example, use round(2.3122, digits=1), it gets 2.3 On Tue, May 9, 2017 at 9:11 AM, Doran, Harold <hdo...@air.org<mailto:hdo...@air.org>> wrote: ?round From: lily li [mailto:chocol...@gmail.com<mailto:chocol...@gmail.com>] Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2017 11:10 AM To: Charles Determan <cdeterma...@gmail.com<mailto:cdeterma...@gmail.com>> Cc: Doran, Harold <hdo...@air.org<mailto:hdo...@air.org>>; R mailing list <r-help@r-project.org<mailto:r-help@r-project.org>> Subject: Re: [R] About calculating average values from several matrices Thanks very much, it works. But how to round the values to have only 1 decimal digit or 2 decimal digits? I think by dividing, the values are double type now. Thanks again.

I don't know how to deal with row names and col names though, so it has the error message.
