Why is it needed? Can you get better results with sapply or vapply (which return vectors, not lists)? In particular, as.data.frame might be responsible for the name mangling. Also, your data seems to end up inside the row names. Try using str() on every step of the transformation to check if that is the case. Also check out the .name_repair argument of the read_excel function, but I think that as.data.frame is part of the problem. -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
