I am reading some data into R from an Excel spreadsheet using read.csv. Some of the original data that comes into column 1 from the spreadsheet is text that says NA. The NA stands for north america. As it comes in, R converts the NA over to <NA>.
What is the cleanest way to change the <NA> values to something else. In other words, get rid of the brackets ? Maybe convert <NA> to NAM. 635 LA 201207 557329 636 LA 201208 683771 637 LA 201209 613851 638 LA 201210 764217 639 LA 201211 212897 782 <NA> 200701 875634 783 <NA> 200702 614856 784 <NA> 200703 521520 785 <NA> 200704 1406400 -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Replace-NA-with-something-else-tp4649974.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
