Hi Angelo, The original code with just `open_dataset()` works as it's created a dataset without actually pulling the data into your R session. The subsequent commands you tried (i.e. involving `collect()` read in the files, resulting in an error when the data is read in.
It looks like there's an invalid value in your dataset which is causing it to fail to load. From the error message you see there, it looks like it's in the 12th column of your data in row 580. I think when Jacob asked "have you checked the value there", another way of phrasing what he said would be to ask if you have manually checked the contents of whichever CSV is causing the problem, in row 580 and column 12, to see what value is there? (rather than checking the data type/value reported by Arrow). It's going to be tricky to help diagnose the issue without a reproducible example. If I'm working with a larger dataset, I usually narrow down the issue by dividing it into two smaller datasets and running the code on each to see which one contains the problematic row, and then keep going until I find the row which is failing to load. If you can get to the point where you can pinpoint the exact values which are causing problems, this will be the quickest way we can help you.
