Hi guys I'm having difficulty loading .xlsx into RStudio - I'm not sure why RStudio can't see the file. Am I specifying the path for read_excel() wrong? Any ideas? Pretty new at R.
Thanks!
Windows 10 (64-bit) Version 0.99.491 & Version 0.99.840 read.xl 0.1.0
getwd()
[1] "C:/Users/user/Documents/Work"
read_excel(system.file("C:/Users/user/Documents/Work/Data.xlsx"))
Error: '' does not exist in current working directory ('C:/Users/user/Documents/Work')
The results of the system.file command are probably returning a blank character ""
:
system.file("C:/Users/user/Documents/Work/Data.xlsx")
[1] ""
I'm not sure why this is the case. Instead, just try specifying the full path within the excel_sheets function, i.e.,
read_excel("C:/Users/user/Documents/Work/Data.xlsx")
