Hi based on your output qw is not a factor. What does say
str(data) If your file is coded 1,2,9 it was imported as numeric and changing 9 to NA inside R does not change its nature to factor. You has to explicitly convert qw to factor e.g. data$qw<as.factor(data$qw) HTH Petr On 15 Jul 2006 at 11:50, Bernardo Rangel tura wrote: Date sent: Sat, 15 Jul 2006 11:50:14 -0300 To: R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch From: Bernardo Rangel tura <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [R] Excel to R > > >Hi peolple! > > > I have a many excel tables with mode than 100 variables.
