character by default

First of all, sorry because I´m a beginner and perhaps this is the most stupid question ever.
When I import data (from excell or SPSS) Rstudio understand variables as character and not numeric, and I cannot change it from as.numeric()
How can I solve it?

Please provide some example code / reprex to check the specific problem.
