[R] Identyfing rows with specific conditions

You will generally get a better response if you create a data set that we can test our ideas on. You sketched out the data but your final results include meal combinations that are not in your Meals data frame. Also using dput() to provide the data makes it easier to recreate the data since just printing it loses important information such as if the numbers are integer or decimal, or if the character variables are characters or factors. Also send your message as plain text, not html which messes up columns and other details. Here is a modification of your data with the beginnings of a solution:

Meals <- structure(list(mealAcode = c(34L, 89L, 25L, 34L, 25L), mealBcode = c(66L, 
39L, 77L, 39L, 34L)), .Names = c("mealAcode", "mealBcode"), row.names = c(NA, 
-5L), class = "data.frame")
Meals
#   mealAcode mealBcode
# 1        34        66
# 2        89        39
# 3        25        77
# 4        34        39
# 5        25        34

Customers <- structure(list(id = c(15L, 11L, 85L), M1 = c(77L, 25L, 89L), 
    M2 = c(34L, 34L, 25L), M3 = c(25L, 39L, 77L)), .Names = c("id", 
"M1", "M2", "M3"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -3L
))
Customers
#   id M1 M2 M3
# 1 15 77 34 25
# 2 11 25 34 39
# 3 85 89 25 77

Results <- data.frame(mealAcode=NA, mealBcode=NA, id=NA)
k <- 0
for (i in seq_len(nrow(Meals))) {
    for (j in seq_len(nrow(Customers))) {
        if (any(Customers[j, -1] %in% Meals[i, 1]) & 
            any(Customers[j, -1] %in% Meals[i, 2])) {
               k <- k+1
               Results[k, ] <- cbind(Meals[i, ], id=Customers[j, 1])
        }
    }
rownames(Results) <- NULL
}
Results
#   mealAcode mealBcode id
# 1        25        77 15
# 2        25        77 85
# 3        34        39 11
# 4        25        34 15
# 5        25        34 11

Results is a data frame that can be modified to get various forms of output. You mention a data frame with ids in separate columns. That might be unwieldy for many types of analysis. The following list shows the ids for each meal combination,  the number of meals of each combination consumed, and a matrix similar to the one you provided.

Results.lst <- split(Results$id,  paste(Results[ , 1], Results[ , 2], sep=" - "))
Results.lst
# $`25 - 34`
# [1] 15 11
# 
# $`25 - 77`
# [1] 15 85
# 
# $`34 - 39`
# [1] 11
table(Results[, 1:2])
#          mealBcode
# mealAcode 34 39 77
#        25  2  0  2
#        34  0  1  0
maxid <- 5
t(sapply(Results.lst, function(x) c(sort(as.vector(x)), 
     rep(NA, maxid-length(as.vector(x))))))
#         [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
# 25 - 34   11   15   NA   NA   NA
# 25 - 77   15   85   NA   NA   NA
# 34 - 39   11   NA   NA   NA   NA

Dear Bert

I have answered your questions in my last 2 messages. If you did not see them, I will answer again. The 2 tables are all data.frames and the order of the meals does not matter. The meal cannot be replicated for each person, they are all different. The missing values are to the right end of each row as each row starts with meal codes first. This task is just a small part of a long 2 years project.

Regards

You haven't said whether your "table" is a matrix or data frame.
Presumably the latter.

Nor have you answered my question about whether order of your meal
code pairs matters.

Another question: can meals be replicated for an ID or are they all different?

Finally, is this a homework assignment or class project of some sort?
Or is it a real task -- i.e., what is the context?

Again, be sure to cc the list.
