"No data available in table" When Importing CSV File

rstudio
#1

Hello, I'm having problems importing CSV files into R Studio using "Import Dataset" "From Text (readr)..." in the "Environment" window. Column headers are correct, but no data appears under column headers. Instead, "No data available in table" appears under column headers (see attached).

No%20data%20available%20in%20table
No data available in table.png1739×1043 52.7 KB

Import was working fine, but I recently updated several packages (didn't record package names) and import of CSV files using "From Text (readr)..." no longer works. I've tried reinstalling R and R Studio, down-grading readr, but to no avail. I'm absolutely stumped as a newbie. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Steve

Without knowing what is inside Homo_1.csv, it will be difficult to help.
Can you share the file or just a few lines ?

That way will know what the file look like and see what options of read_csv could be activated.

As requested, I've enclosed a copy of Homo_1.csv

I’ve noticed that this occurs for me when I try import a dodgy csv file or a weird character seems to be in the file.

Check encoding of both the file type when you make the csv and also make sure readr is using same encoding.

Another thing you could do is go into the file explorer window of Rstudio, click the file, and then select the import dataset button. It will then open the file in the Rstudio source editor and for me at least the troublesome characters were highlighted, making it easy to just delete them and reload with readr.

IMO file/date encoding issues are my most despised ‘feature’ or R

Hmm, it's hard to tell because of the way your file has been formatted when you copy/pasted it onto the forum, but in the screenshot you've got the delimiter as comma but might the dataset be tab delimited?

Just to clarify, Homo_1.csv is one of over 50 CSV files that I imported into RStudio using "From Text (readr)..." without any issues. It was only after updating several packages (didn't record package names) that problems began. I don't believe the problem has anything to do with how the CSV files are formatted, but rather what happened to RStudio upon upgrading packages. I'll try reinstalling RStudio to see if this makes a difference. Thanks, Steve
