I did what you said and it worked perfectly, but I have tried to save some of my objects using paste because I want to limit the number of significant digits and one matrix has some empty spaces I use NA in, and I want those left blank, but when I paste into an object it doesn’t hold that formatting, any suggestions? How can I have a matrix that isn’t full to have empty spaces? If I just tell it " ", it turns the entire matrix into characters.
