Follow up, Would read.txt also work, as I am certain that I have both datasets in .txt files? As to a previous users question concern the .csv nature of the supposed excel file, I am uncertain as to how this was translated as such. The file is most certainly in excel. On Thu, Dec 27, 2018 at 12:

Caitlin, I tried your command in both RGui and RStudio but both came up as errors. I believe I made a mistake somewhere I labeling/downloading the files, which is the source of the confusion in R. I will re-examine the files saved on my desktop to determine the error. Regardless, would it be bet

Does this help Spencer? The read.delim() function assumes a tab character by default, but I specifically included it using the read.csv function. The downloaded file is NOT an Excel file so this should help. GBM_protein_expression <- read.csv("C:/Users/Spencer/Desktop/GBM protein_expression.tsv

this is wrong because the file is a csv file. read_excel is designed for xls files. GBM_protein_expression <- read_excel("C:/Users/Spencer/Desktop/GBM protein_expression.csv") How did you get a csv? it downloads as tsv. the statement you should use is in base, no library() statement is needed.

Sorry, my mistake. So I could still use read.table and should I try using a .txt version of the file to avoid the silent changes you described? Also, when I tried to simply this process by downloading the dataset onto RStudio opposed to R (Gui) I received the following... library(readxl) > GBM_p

Please always reply-all to keep the list involved. If you used Save As to change the data format to Excel AND the file extension to xlsx, then yes, you should be able to read with readxl. I don't recommend it, though... Excel often changes data silently and in irregularly located places in your

CSV and TSV are not Excel files. Yes, I know Excel will open them, but that does not make them Excel files. Read a TSV file with read.table or read.csv, setting the sep argument to "\t". On December 26, 2018 7:26:35 PM PST, Spencer Brackett wrote: >I tried importing the file without preview an
