For what it's worth the janitor::remove_empty() (which removes all-NA rows by default, can be set to remove columns instead) can be useful for this kind of cleanup.

Dear David

To get the first 46 rows just do KurtzData[1:43,]

However really you want to find out why it happened. It looks as though the .csv file you read has lots of blank lines at the end. I would open it in an editor to check that.

With help from several people, I used file.choose() to get my file name, and read.csv() to read in the file as KurtzData.  Then when I print KurtzData, the last several lines look like this:
39   5/31/22              16.0      341    1.75525 0.0201 0.0214   7.00
40   6/28/22  2:00 PM      0.0      215    0.67950 0.0156 0.0294     NA

47                                              NA     NA     NA     NA
48                                              NA     NA     NA     NA
49                                              NA     NA     NA     NA

Then the NA�s go down to one numbered 973.  Where did those extras likely come from, and how do I get rid of them?  I assume I need to get rid of all the lines after #46,  to do calculations and graphics, no?
