Re: [R] Data invisible to read.csv

You are using terms and concepts that apply to spreadsheets, but do not apply 
to R or CSV files. Please conform to the Posting Guide and make a reproducible 
example [1][2][3] using R code to demonstrate your problem. I suspect you will 
find that your problem begins in your spreadsheet and not in R or the CSV file, 
but if not then the example will help us help you.

[R] Data invisible to read.csv

2017-11-01 Thread WRAY NICHOLAS via R-help
Hello   This relates to trying to upload csv files to R.  Essentially I have
some v large csv files, but in the column where the dates are appears the column
entry "00:00.0" for every line.  But in the formula bar appears a date as well,
for example "01/04/09 00:00.0", and this never appears in the main body of the
document

It's the dates I need but they seem to be invisible to the read.csv function by
which I'm uploading - that works, but simply gives "00:00.0" and not the date
bit.  I've never seen this before.  Does anyone know what's going on and how I
can get to the date string?

Thanks, Nick Wray
