R Refresher

Cautionwork-in-progress

This page is work-in-progress and will provide a short refresher of the R covered in Data Project 1.

Installing packages

Which command installs the readxl package?

NoteSolution

Use install.packages("readxl") to install the package. The package name must be string, so needing surrounding quotation marks "readxl". library(readxl) is a correct R function, but loads an already-installed package.

Fix the error

This code should load the package for reading Excel files - but is returning an error when run. Run it, read the error message, and correct the code.

TipHint

Which package provides functions for working with Excel files? read_excel() is a function provided by the package we need, but library() needs the name of the package we installed.
