Removing display of row names from data frame

by

You have successfully removed the row names. The print.data.frame method just shows the row numbers if no row names are present.

df1 <- data.frame(values = rnorm(3), group = letters[1:3],
                  row.names = paste0("RowName", 1:3))
print(df1)
#            values group
#RowName1 -1.469809     a
#RowName2 -1.164943     b
#RowName3  0.899430     c

rownames(df1) <- NULL
print(df1)
#     values group
#1 -1.469809     a
#2 -1.164943     b
#3  0.899430     c

You can suppress printing the row names and numbers in print.data.frame with the argument row.names as FALSE.

print(df1, row.names = FALSE)
#     values group
# -1.4345829     d
#  0.2182768     e
# -0.2855440     f

Edit: As written in the comments, you want to convert this to HTML. From the xtable and print.xtable documentation, you can see that the argument include.rownames will do the trick.

library("xtable")
print(xtable(df1), type="html", include.rownames = FALSE)
#<!-- html table generated in R 3.1.0 by xtable 1.7-3 package -->
#<!-- Thu Jun 26 12:50:17 2014 -->
#<TABLE border=1>
#<TR> <TH> values </TH> <TH> group </TH>  </TR>
#<TR> <TD align="right"> -0.34 </TD> <TD> a </TD> </TR>
#<TR> <TD align="right"> -1.04 </TD> <TD> b </TD> </TR>
#<TR> <TD align="right"> -0.48 </TD> <TD> c </TD> </TR>
#</TABLE>
