I am getting an error when trying to import tab delimited .txt file saved from Excel. I have read what is posted on the forums but still am confused.
I saved my Excel file (DataTestforR.xlsx) as a tab delimited txt file (DataTestR.txt) on my Desktop. In the RGUI, I tried to import the txt file and got an error > myfile<-"C:\\Users\\jpapa\\Desktop\\DataTestR.txt" > mydf<-read.delim(myfile, header=TRUE,sep=" ", dec=".") Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed The first row of my file has column names and the first column of my file has unique identifing names (not duplicated): Cu Sa Na Ci Se NM NPI IPI Seg 0090.00 15.48 1 SOM S L TX 0 0.2 0.2 7-Very 10997.00 64.62 123 B C NJ 0 0.01 0.04 7-Very Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you. ****************************************************************** *Joanna Papakonstantinou, Ph.D.* [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
