Hello everyone!
I work with a german excell version which uses commas instead of
points for seperating decimal places. R work with points so in order
to be able to save my excell tables without changing the commas to
points, whenever I load a table I type in: read.table(..., dec = ",")
only R puts the points into the wron places. For excample excell has a
cell with the number: 0,09 so what R does, it writes the number as 0.9
which is wrong and makes my calculations become useless.
Does anyone know this problem? Maby I made a mistake somewhere?
I would be glad about your answers!
Cheers, Anna
