This package has functions for importing Stata, SAS and SPSS files directly into R. If you absolutely have to read a non-text file into R, check out the package called foreign ( install.packages("foreign")). If there is anything ‘unclean’ in the file, then R may still have problems reading it, even after you export it to a text file. Warning: If you try to export an Excel file to a text file, it is a good idea to clean the file as much as you can first by, for example, deleting unnecessary columns, making sure that all numeric columns have numeric data, making sure the column names are simple (ie., single words without spaces or special characters). txt file, you can read it into R using read.table(). Then, once you have exported the data to a. files – both SPSS and Excel have options to do this. Rather than trying to import SPSS or Excel files directly in R, I always recommend first exporting/saving the original SPSS or Excel files as text. Shitty Piece of Shitty Shit files can contain information like variable descriptions that R doesn’t know what to do with, and Excel files often contain something, like missing rows or cells with text instead of numbers, that can completely confuse R. The first answer to this question I always give is “You shouldn’t”. 18.5 Chapter 8: Matrices and DataframesĪ common question I hear is “How can I import an SPSS/Excel/… file into R?”.18.4 Chapter 7: Indexing vectors with.17.4 Loops over multiple indices with a design matrix.17.3 Updating a container object with a loop.17.2 Creating multiple plots with a loop.17.1.2 Adding the integers from 1 to 100.16.4.4 Storing and loading your functions to and from a function file with source().16.4.2 Using stop() to completely stop a function and print an error.16.3 Using if, then statements in functions.16.2.3 Including default values for arguments.16.2 The structure of a custom function.16.1 Why would you want to write your own function?.15.5.2 Transforming skewed variables prior to standard regression.15.5.1 Adding a regression line to a plot.15.5 Logistic regression with glm(family = "binomial".15.4 Regression on non-Normal data with glm().15.3 Comparing regression models with anova().15.2.6 Getting an ANOVA from a regression model with aov().
