Fields name with space in R

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
