Dear R user,

After I imported data (csv format) in R, I called it out. But it is in
non-numeric format.
Then using "as.numeric" function.
However, the output is really awful !!!!!

PE[1,90:99]
            V90          V91          V92          V93          V94
V95          V96          V97          V98          V99
1  16.8467742   17.5853166   19.7400328   21.7277241   21.5015489
19.1922102   20.3351524   18.1615471   18.5479946   16.8983887

as.numeric(PE[1,90:99])
  [1] 11 10 11 10 11  9 10  9  9  8

  How can I solve the above problem??

Hi Jessica,
Try

as.numeric(as.character(PE[1,90:99]))

If that works, your variable has probably managed to become a factor.
