Help to find correlation. Oops

Hi,
Ignore the previous post-it contained a typo. Sorry! The following is  
ok.
Hank

See help files for read.csv for input.
See help files for cor.test
dat <- read.csv("whatever-your-file-is", other info...)

# Generate an upper triangular  matrix of Pearson product moment  
correlation coefficients
r.s <- matrix(NA, nr=dim(dat)[2], nc=dim(dat)[2])
rownames(r.s) <- names(dat)
colnames(r.s) <- names(dat)
for(i in 1:(dim(dat)[2]-1)) {
   for(j in i:dim(dat)[2]) r.s[i,j] <- {cor.test(dat[,i], dat[,j]) 
$estimate}}
r.s

# Generate an upper triangular  matrix of P values of the r's
p.s <- matrix(NA, nr=dim(dat)[2], nc=dim(dat)[2])
rownames(p.s) <- names(dat)
colnames(p.s) <- names(dat)
for(i in 1:(dim(dat)[2]-1)) {
   for(j in i:dim(dat)[2]) p.s[i,j] <- {cor.test(dat[,i], dat[,j]) 
$p.value}}
p.s

Please do read the help files.

Respected Sir,

I am trying to import excel file into R, but I need to truncate  
some columns from the original file.

How to delete unwanted columns when I import data from excel file.

How to use cor.test for the data when I want the output rowwise.

How to do grouping and use cor.test on that data

I need some help regarding how to calculate the correlation.
I don't know whether you understood my question, but I need help.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
