Im am running a fishers exact test on some data but im unsure of how the input contingency table should be formatted.

Option 1
```
   1  2 3  4  5 6  7
1  0  5 0 18  1 0  7
2  5  2 0 15  1 0  9
3  0  0 0  2  0 0  1
4 18 15 2 46 25 0 27
5  1  1 0 25 10 0  7
6  0  0 0  0  0 0  0
7  7  9 1 27  7 0 12
```
 or Option 2
```
   1  2  3  4  5  7
1  0  1  0 12  0  2
2  4  1  0  6  1  5
3  0  0  0  2  0  0
4  6  9  0 23 10  9
5  1  0  0 15  5  3
7  5  4  1 18  4  6
```
The difference is, that in option 1, all occurrences of [1,2] (five in total) are in both cells they meet. In option 2 there is one occurrence of [1,2] and four occurrences of [2,1] which are listed separately. The results of those tables are very different (Option 1 is significant, Option 2 is not). Which one is the right way to go?

**EDIT:**
The rows and columns represent clusters of states and the values are conflicts between or within clusters. The rows and columns can be seen as who initiated the conflict, but this information does not matter for my analysis. I simply want to analyze how many conflicts there were between or within clusters and how significant the results are.
