Managed to find away to accurately load xlsb files in r?

[@christopherberggren6124]

Newbie here - have been attempting to import spreadsheets into R Studio using the read.csv function (I right-click to get the file path, copy and paste, convert the single back-slash to a double, and STILL getting error message. I've tried different methods too, like making sure to install and load tidyverse and here, then starting the read.csv function with a DF

Hey I'm an ecologist and doing stuff with species abundance etc. As such, my first column is a list of taxonomic names and my sampling sites are the header. How do I get R to read my first column as a "header"?

[@ProgrammingDDS]

Hi! If you look at the documentation for the read.csv function (www.rdocumentation.org/packages/xlsx/versions/0.6.5/topics/read.xlsx), you can see there is a "header" variable: "a logical value indicating whether the first row corresponding to the first element of the rowIndex vector contains the names of the variables.". Meaning you just have to set it to True to keep your header. Hope that helps! Best, Lilly

[@isabellekemajou-brown923]

Very informative video, thank you. I have a question if one may help. I am trying the command read.cvs and tried every step I see in your video but I keep getting error message "Error in read.cvs("path/filename.csv", :
could not find function "read.cvs""
I tried both on windows and on mac and I am still having the same error message.

[@abstract-thoughts]

[@isabellekemajou-brown923]

@@abstract-thoughts Yes it works now. Thanks Chris!

whenever I try to copy and paste the path file into read_excel, i get an "error: `path` does not exist". Does anyone know why this happens??

[@user-ci1oo3ol6w]

Same

what abour real world data things are not setup on the same way

[@hugoalvaraes9692]

What if column A has 5 observations and column B has 6 observations? How do we import in this situation?

[@ProgrammingDDS]

Hi Hugo! The number of observations per column should not create problems when importing the data. You will probably have one "NA" in the row where there is no observation in column A. Hope that helps! Best, DDS

"/" works on Windows also. "\\" not necessary. 😄
