Multiple Regression

Hi, I'm trying to do a multiple regression using a CSV data file, but when I run the lines of code I get the following error message.

Warning messages:
1: In model.response(mf, "numeric") :
  using type = "numeric" with a factor response will be ignored
2: In Ops.factor(y, z$residuals) : ‘-’ not meaningful for factors

These are the codes I use:

# Codes to read csv file
Data2018<- read.csv(file = "Data2018.csv", head = TRUE, sep=";")
Data2018

#attach data
Data2018$ISIN
Data2018$Name
Data2018$Industry
Data2018$Currency
Data2018$Assets
Data2018$Debt
Data2018$Market.Value
Data2018$ROE
Data2018$Revenu
Data2018$Tobins.Q

# Fit model using variables
Model0 <- lm(Tobins.Q ~ Industry + Currency + Assets + Debt + Market.Value + ROE + Revenu)

These are 6 lines of outcome:

Seems like your Tobinsq should be numbers but are strings ( I see commas)
