Done.
Converting xls file to csv file... Done.
Reading csv file... Done.
Im not suppose to download the file though its already on my
computer. How
do i type in the path så R finds my .xls??
It's probably not where you think it is. Try using:
stock.xls <- read.xls(file.choose(), header = TRUE)[, 3:4]
... and navigating your directory tree.
