That is the normal way of dealing with missing values, in R.


Is it possible to get object where missing values aren't replaced with NAs?

It is possible to replace the NAs with empty space, but nobody would
recommend that because your variable will be coerced to a character mode.
If the other values are numbers, you won't be able to compute any numerical
measures.
Try to accept that NA is there for a reason, in R.

I hope this helps,
Adrian
