I am not sure if this applies to your example, but to me it looks a
little like column AXA.Entity is not really a normal number (i.e.
meant to ube used in computations) but some kind of ID. In that case,
it may be better to enforce a character (or factor) data type for this
column when you first read the date (using the colClasses argument to
read.table).
