R Programming Tutorial - 15 - How to Read CSV Files

[BlueNovaBeats]

Thank you!!!! My professor doesn’t provide the best information to complete our assignments and I’ve been struggling for hours but you made this simple to figure out in 3 minutes

This video really helped me out a lot. I was confused, even in determining my working directory. Thank you!!

This may be a silly question- how do I know what I need to type in the top left box for R to run? Sorry this is my first R tutorial and I am completely lost.

Hey Bucky, I'm a new subscriber and I just want to tell you that I appreciate this tutorial. I have managed to get my brother who is a scientist in the field of biology to watch the first few episodes. Most scientists suck at programming and statistics so keep this up and we might be able to contribute to something bigger... like a non-sucky scientist :)

Hi Sr. Thank you so much.
But if I have this error, what I should do ?

Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, :

more columns than column names

Couple notes
1. Excel files have multiple pages, but CSV files may only have 1
2. The CSV must be formatted such that only a header and columns of homogeneous values are present (he alluded to this already by saying it will be read as a data frame rather than generally as a list)
3. The data frame and CSV will not save formulaic data from an Excel file, but rather just the final numerical output of those formulae to each cell
4. Obviously, it also doesn't save any aesthetic changes to the cells or font, so a lot of data may be lost in this transfer if the original file is Excel
5. CSVs cells also are not able to refer to cells from other files; they're kind of dumb in general.

Bucky, what if the csv sits behind a login and password, say SmartSheets? How can this be done? Thank you

[bruceb]

First time with R going through your videos. How do you all remember all these commands and stuff?

[edGoldi]

hey man just wanted to share my gratitude!

[simplyanup]

Really thanks to u man, I love your explanation, the way of teaching. You know one thing, because of you I did improve two things, 1) Rstdio and 2) you very much for your explanation and at the end I suggested your CHANNEL to my closest friends and one thing, I heard the name BUCKY in captain america...😇

It is also possible to just write F/T instead of FALSE/TRUE and everything will be the same. Plus you can use read.table function that can also make the same data.frame and I hope you will show attach function next time (just a small hints)

I really love your tuts and I hope I will learn much more from your vids. You are making this world better! :)

I have successfully loaded a csv file (downloaded as csv from an excel sheet). However, while reading the file, it shows many metadata such as font style, font style etc in the R console.

Why is this? Can anyone help me?

[michaelguzman]
