changing class of column to numeric creates random blue hyperlinks to nowhere

[Redbad20]

I recently started coding and I am trying to convert column classes to numeric. I have imported a simple excel file. Whatever method I use, some numbers are changed to blue hyperlinks that can not be used as numbers anymore. When I press them they simply lead to google chrome. does anyone know what's going on? I added a printscreen as example. Thanks!! linkss|690x261

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Is it always the same numbers that end up being a link? And if you look at them in the excel file, are they formatted differently?

It's good you added a screenshot, but the best way of stating you problem is by providing us a minimal reprocudible example where you provide a minimal (dummy) dataset and code that can recreate the issue. Once we have that, we can go from there. For help on creating a Reprex, see this guide:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…

Good luck!
