Hi list,
It seems that as.numeric is rounding up my numbers that are in a character format.
Example:
a
[1] "776554.45" "776985.31" "776076.03" "776092.01" "776151.42" "776276.97"
b <- as.numeric(a)
b
[1] 776554.4 776985.3 776076.0 776092.0 776151.4 776277.0
I've tried as.numeric(a,2) and as.numeric(a, digits = 2) but it didn't work, nor ? as.numeric gave me any clues. How can i transform my character numbers in numeric without loosing the decimal digits?
Thanks,
Monica
