Hello everyone! I work with a german excell version which uses commas instead of points for seperating decimal places. R work with points so in order to be able to save my excell tables without changing the commas to points, whenever I load a table I type in: read.table(..., dec = ",") only R puts the points into the wron places. For excample excell has a cell with the number: 0,09 so what R does, it writes the number as 0.9
Please specify an example with the excel output and what R reads. You will find that such an example does not exist and hence you made some mistake and compared different numbers or so.
