You or nabble left out my suggestion to use dec="," in your call to read.table (or read.csv, etc.)
Did you use read.table(filename, ..., dec=",") when importing the data (so "30,3" is read as the number 30 and 3 tenths instead of as the character string "30,3")? along with an example of what it did: > good <- read.table(header=TRUE, dec=",", text="x y\n1,1 2,1\n1 2\n") > str(good) 'data.frame': 2 obs. of 2 variables: $ x: num 1.1 1 $ y: num 2.1 2 Bill Dunlap Spotfire, TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On > Behalf Of F86 > Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 2:47 PM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] HELP me please with import of csv to R > > Hello William, > > - I used str() and got this > > 'data.frame': 290 obs. of 2 variables: > $ Kommuner: Factor w/ 289 levels "Ale","Alingsas",..: 34 40 44 79 95 99 132 > 162 169 173 ... > $ Skatt : Factor w/ 177 levels "28,89","28,9",..: 86 7 47 67 74 25 24 23 > 85 74 ... > > - and summary() > > - got this > > > summary(skatter) > Kommuner Skatt > Habo : 2 33,4 : 9 > Ale : 1 31 : 6 > Alingsas: 1 32,45 : 6 > Almhult : 1 32 : 5 > Alvdalen: 1 32,15 : 5 > Alvesta : 1 33,2 : 5 > (Other) :283 (Other):254 > > > > So obviously i have done something wrong.
