Dear RStudio Community
When I try to open an excel file with the command:
read.csv("C:/users/aidy/Downloads/2008.cvs")
I get the reply:
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'C:/users/aidy/Downloads/2008.cvs': No such file or directory
There's no doubt the file exists, I can open it in excel...
I've tried various things, for example in RStudio going to File, Import; and also in the code changing the direction of the slash, and lower case letters for upper case... no success...
Maybe something that's associated with this problem is that I couldn't open the RStudio software I'd initially downloaded, I had to resort to an older version (1.1.463), and maybe this is because my laptop is 8 years old, Windows 72, 32-bit... also, I've only just today updated my Google browser...
Please help!..
I need to open this excel file in RStudio for an online course I'm doing with Future Learn called [INTRODUCTION TO R FOR DATA SCIENCE-PURDUE UNIVERSITY]... they've had this sort of problem before, but none of the tutors is available to help at the moment...
Thanks for reading this!
