HI All,I am trying to load an CSV file into the R project. the code for the same is: mydata<- read.csv("Jan-May Data.csv", header=TRUE) however with this I am getting the below error message: /*Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "rt") : cannot open file 'Jan-May Data.csv': No such file or directory*/ I am under the impression that R automatically pulls the data from the working directory and we do not have to add the location where the file is saved. Please let me know if my understanding is correct and help on the error as well. Please note the csv file is already saved in the WD. Thank you, Shivi
The error message suggests that R is not finding the file. Are you sure it is in R's working directory? Try explicitly setting the working directory to the directory (folder) where your CSV file is. There is a menu option for this.
