Hi Duncan
The simples spreadsheet is:
Put a name in the cell, let say "a1"
Put number e.g. 1 below "a1"
Copy the number to enough rows
Select this column and press ctrl-c
result is
temp<- read.delim("clipboard")
str(temp)
'data.frame': 1513 obs. of 1 variable:
$ a1: Factor w/ 2 levels "1","a1": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
which(temp$a1=="a1")

R-devel 2015 (69443) works as expected so it started a believe
around May
or June this year, when I installed new R version.
I hope it could help to trace the problem. If I can help any
further, let me
know.
Best regards

Dear all
I used to transfer data from excel to R by simple ctrl-c and
read.delim("clipboard") construction. I know it is a bad practice
but it is easy
and for quick exploratory work it is OK. However after changing to
new R
devel
few days ago I encountered weird behaviour. I tried one or two
columns.
You haven't posted something that is reproducible. I don't have
Excel, but I
can
cut and paste from Libreoffice, and I don't see this.
However, it's not the same spreadsheet as you used, so I wouldn't be
comfortable saying I did what you did.
Please reduce the size of your spreadsheet if you can, and then post
instructions for how to construct it, and what to cut and paste
from it.
Then others can try what you did and see if this is specific
to your machine,
to
that particular version of R-devel, to Excel, etc.

In case of 2 columns, header is repeated after 526 items
mar<-read.delim("clipboard")
which(mar$a2=="a1")
[1] 525 1051 1577
diff(which(mar$a2=="a1"))
[1] 526 526
and only first header item is repeated.
In case of one column, header is repeated after 1107 items
mar<-read.delim("clipboard")
diff(which(mar$a2=="a2"))
[1] 1107 1107
And all items in object are therefore changed to factor.
BTW, readxl package works on same excel file smoothly.
I will try to download the most recent R version to check it, but
it could
take
some time due to our IT issues.
Best regards
