Hi, I'm building my own dataset using data downloaded from my qualtrics survey (in .csv format), supplemented by my coding of qualitative variables. When I first downloaded the .csv from qualtrics, it loaded into R quite easily, and I was able to use the fix(dta) command to see my variables. However, once I started editing and coding qualitative variables, something went wrong. R will still let me load the .csv, but as soon as I type fix(dta) it gives me an error message:
*run_REngineRmainloop: exception *** - [__NSPlaceholdArray initWithObjects:count:]:attempt to insert nil object from objects[881] caught during REPL iteration. Update to the latest GUI version and consider reporting this properly (see FAG) if it persists and is not known.* I made sure none of my columns read in with "i." I'm running the latest version of R (I am using a mac). Is it possible that, due to some of the new variables that have blank cells (i.e. I've made a lot of dummies, coding responses as 1, but leaving others blank) that it's choking? Help!
