Hi all
I have a large SAS data set, how do I get it read in R?
The data is too big (about 400,000 rows by 100 columns) to be saved as an
Excel file. How should I get it read in R? Any packages? I don't seem to
find any.
You could write it out in some plain delimited format, e.g. CSV or
tab-delimited. Watch out for special characters in strings that confuse
R when it reads it in (e.g. commas in unquoted CSV strings, quotes
within strings, etc.)
