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_protein_expression <- read_excel("C:/Users/Spencer/Desktop/GBM
protein_expression.csv")
Error: Can't establish that the input is either xls or xlsx.
> View(GBM_protein_expression)
Error in View : object 'GBM_protein_expression' not found
Error in gzfile(file, mode) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In gzfile(file, mode) :
  cannot open compressed file
'C:/Users/Spencer/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpQNQrMh/input147c61fc5b52.rds',
probable reason 'No such file or directory'
> library(readxl)
> GBM_protein_expression <-
read_excel("C:/Users/Spencer/Desktop/GBM_protein_ expression.xlsx")
readxl works best with a newer version of the tibble package.
You currently have tibble v1.4.2.
Falling back to column name repair from tibble <= v1.4.2.
Message displays once per session.
> View(GBM_protein_expression)


Is this perhaps the result of lack of preview (which I did not complete at
the time I hit import as the preview failed to load), or the fact that the
excel file itself contains no numerical data, but only TRUE or FALSE
entries?
