Therefore R expects each row to have the same number of elements and it doesn't fill in empty spaces by default. Try read.table("/PathTo/file.csv" , fill = TRUE ) to fill in the blanks. e.g. read.table( text= "Element1 Element2 Element5 Element6 Element7" , fill = TRUE , header = FALSE ) # V1 V2 V3 #1 Element1 Element2 #2 Element5 Element6 Element7 A note on whether or not to set header = FALSE... read.table tries to autom

I used readLines(textConnection(examdata)) to determine where the actual data table began. Turns out it starts on the 32nd line. Therefore we can use the skip argument in read.csv to skip the first 31 lines. I used the strip.white argument because there seems to be some erroneous whitespace in the table. (df <- read.csv(text = examdata, skip = 31L, strip.white = TRUE)) # Type Cash Check Credit Debit Electronic Other Total # 1 Average Number of Purchases 23.7 3.9 10.1 14.4 4.4 2.3 58.7 # 2 Average Transaction Value $21 $168 $56 $44 $216 $69 $59 # 3 Value of Payments in % 14 19 16 18 27 5 100 Since you'll probably want those numbers to be numeric, you'll need to remove the $ sign and convert th

ADD REPLY • link modified 2.9 years ago • written 2.9 years ago by Michael Dondrup ♦ 39k 2 This error means what it says; the text file is not (tab) delimited in the way that you think. Most often this happens when lines contain comment error in scan characters (#) or single quotes. Read the help page for read.table() for ways to deal with this.
