As a further note, this is a reminder that whenever you get data via a spreadsheet the first thing to do is examine it and clean up any problems. A basic requirement is to tabulate any categorical variable.
I like using the ?describe? function in the ?Hmisc? package for this. If you run the result through the ?latex? function, you get an even nicer output, with small histograms for each numerical variable.
