Hi , I just imported a large data set from notepad. I want to label the columns in R. I used 'import Dataset' to bring in my data set Now, I would like to label V1,V2,V3 etc?? Thanks -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Naming-columns-tp4674595.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Your question prompts more questions than answers. Not sure what "imported
from notepad" means (clipboard? delimited how?). Don't know what you
obtained in R (what does the str function tell you? What about
dput(head(yourdata)))? You really need to tell us what R code you executed and
data you gave it for us to understand what happened.
Please read the Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of this message. You would
probably also benefit from reading about how to make a reproducible example to
illustrate your question.
