Marisa, If the examples in R Data Import/Export can't help you you'll have to be way way way more specific.
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.pdf I'm assuming you are using windows. Here's an example. Try saving the attached file to c:\temp and copying the commands below into R. This file junk.csv is a text file where each value is seperated by a comma. You can open it in Excel or with a text editor like notepad. Try looking at it with both. In windows it's often easiest to get you data from excel to R by saving it as a comma seperated file (.csv) from excel. Good luck, Andy #### Start copy and paste # Set the working directory so R knows where your files are setwd("c:/temp") # Read the data (see read.csv for comma seperated files too) some.data <- read.table(file = "junk.csv", header = T, sep = ",") # Now try some things with this data some.data summary(some.data) attach(some.data) a.model <- lm(Y ~ X1 + X2) detach(some.data) summary(a.model) # now look at the help pages for these commands ?read.table ?setwd ?lm ?summary ?attach ?detach #### End copy and paste Here's a copy of the attached file junk.csv which probably won't make it to the R-Help list.
