Simple example:
Fields name containing a space, moved into a dataframe with the new R visualization:
#Create Dataframe
#dataset <-data.frame (Order Quantity, Gross Profit)
How can I reference those fields? e.g plot(Order Quantity, Gross Profit)? R variables cannot have spaces.
Thanks
Francesco
I managed to find the solution, which can be found here. The R code to automatically od what you requested for all columns is:
names(dataset) <- gsub(" ","_",names(dataset))
Try dataset["Order Quantity"]. this should do the trick.
Thanks, Avi
