Hi,

Austin's solution is very elegant. But I think that the following
codes could help in different cases

* For teaching Stata
sysuse auto, clear
qui {
	tab rep78, matrow(A)
	tab head, matrow(B)
	local na = rowsof(A)
	local nb = rowsof(B)
	mat C=J(`na',`nb',.)
}

forv ka=1/`na' {
forv kb=1/`nb' {
	sum price if rep78==A[`ka',1] & head==B[`kb',1], meanonly
	mat C[`ka',`kb']=r(mean)
}
}

mat l C

* For efficiency, use a vector instead of a matrix 
sysuse auto, clear
qui {
	gen aux = 100*headroom + rep78
	tab aux, matrow(A)
	local na = rowsof(A)
	mat C=J(`na',1,.)
}
forv ka=1/`na' {
	sum price if aux==A[`ka',1], meanonly
	mat C[`ka',1]=r(mean)
}
}

mat l C


In both cases, we drop the missings in rep78

Rodrigo.
