Hello, It's the column that you want to convert, not the data.frame.
f1 <- as.numeric(f$INE001A01036) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 07-12-2012 14:23, Vikram Bahure escreveu:
Dear R users, I am facing a pretty a unusual problem while converting character to numeric. Any input would be appreciated. Below is the code and error faced: --------------------------------------- *> str(cmie.dts)* *'data.frame': 4397 obs. of 1 variable:* * $ INE001A01036: chr "1482181740.000000" "1482181740.000000" "1482181740.000000" "1482181740.000000" ...* *> f1 <- as.numeric(f)* *Error: (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'* *-----------------------------------------* * * Thanks in advance.
