Generally, you can save your excel spreadsheet as comma-separated values, and then read with read.csv function: ?read.csv Or, tab-separated values and use read.delim. Then look at ?barplot Possibly you would like to read the Intro to R on the CRAN website. Go to www.r-project.org , find Documentation in the menu on the left, and click on Manuals.
HTH Rex -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Laura Clasemann Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 10:03 AM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] help Hi, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with help in entering the dataset below into R? I've been having a hard time in trying to figure out how to assemble it into both a frequency table and a bar graph within R. I've been trying to present the way I had the data arranged, as below, in Excel Spreadsheet into R. I am uncertain what the correct commands and exact techniques are into getting it correctly organized in R. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
