Read csv file in r from desktop
R read csv to dataframe.
Suppose I have a CSV file called data.csv saved in the following location:
C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\data.csv
And suppose the CSV file contains the following data:
team, points, assists 'A', 78, 12 'B', 85, 20 'C', 93, 23 'D', 90, 8 'E', 91, 14There are three common ways to import this CSV file into R:
1.
Use read.csv from base R (Slowest method, but works fine for smaller datasets)
data1 <- read.csv("C:\\Users\\Bob\\Desktop\\data.csv", header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)2. Use read_csv from readr package (2-3x faster than read.csv)
library(readr) data2 <- read_csv("C:\\Users\\Bob\\Desktop\\data.csv")3.
Use fread from data.table package (2-3x faster than read_csv)
library(data.table) data3 <- fread("C:\\Users\\Bob\\Desktop\\data.csv")This tutorial shows an example of how to use each of these methods to import the CSV file into R.
