Thank you Michael,
Another new and useful function for me. In brief, str() gave me: $ Aeventexhumed: chr "A" "A" "A" "A" ... $ Aeventexhumed: Factor w/ 4 levels "","A","B","C": 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ... I think on the data sheet there are two columns for Aeventexhumed and only one of them was converted to a factor. Factor is correct so as you suggested I will just leave it. Thanks!
