Hello. I'm trying to get an Org table from an R data frame but data is
lost in the process.
Here is a MWE. Note that:
- In R every value is a string. "var2" contains no numbers (is a
character vector).
- Upon conversion to a table Org removes the zero from "var2" last
value.
------------------------------
#+BEGIN_SRC R :session *mwe* :results value table :colnames yes
tst <- data.frame(var1 = c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g"),
var2 = c("150", "210", "140", "150", "192", "497", "3.350"),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
tst
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| var1 | var2 |
|------+------|
| a | 150 |
| b | 210 |
| c | 140 |
| d | 150 |
| e | 192 |
| f | 497 |
| g | 3.35 |
------------------------------
Here's the output as seen in R:
: > tst
: var1 var2
: 1 a 150
: 2 b 210
: 3 c 140
: 4 d 150
: 5 e 192
: 6 f 497
: 7 g 3.350
Details on the data frame:
: > str(tst)
: 'data.frame': 7 obs. of 2 variables:
: $ var1: chr "a" "b" "c" "d" ...
: $ var2: chr "150" "210" "140" "150" ...
It seems Org knows that the values on column "var2" are numbers and
converts the strings to numbers, applying some obscure trimming on the
digits. The "3.350" value needs to be left as is.
