Learning R: Importing Data

Join us on an exciting journey into the world of data with our introductory workshops! Tailored for newcomers with little to no experience in R or other scripted tools, we offer a low-barrier entry to unleash your computer’s potential for data mastery, moving beyond Excel or SPSS. Join us and discover the power of data in a user-friendly, script-driven environment!

This session will address importing Excel and comma separated value files into R for analysis. Topics covered include variable naming, variable assignment, missing values on import, assigning appropriate data types to variables, and saving data as R data objects.

By the end of the session, participants should be able to import data stored in tabular format (Excel, csv), standardize missing values for subsequent tidying and analysis.
