Thanks. For those using gnumeric to munge excel data, be careful. Very careful. Just found a spreadsheet with "missing" columns (exist in excel, and do not display in gnumeric). If I'd known they were there, I'd not have had to recopy from an older dataset. Realigning/merging at 4am isn't fun. Alternatively, if I had exported first into R (via CSV), I'd have found them. Not sure what the lesson is, but at 5am, I'm just not too sure about anything except that I've now got a clean and validated dataset. best, -tony -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.analytics.washington.edu/ Biomedical and Health Informatics University of Washington Biostatistics, SCHARP/HVTN Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center UW (Tu/Th/F): 206-616-7630 FAX=206-543-3461 | Voicemail is unreliable FHCRC (M/W): 206-667-7025 FAX=206-667-4812 | use Email CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message and any attachme...{{dropped}} ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
