Please always reply-all to keep the list involved. If you used Save As to change the data format to Excel AND the file extension to xlsx, then yes, you should be able to read with readxl. I don't recommend it, though... Excel often changes data silently and in irregularly located places in your file.

So even if I imported the file form ICGC to my desktop as an excel file, and can view and saved the data as such, it is still a TSV? On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 10:35 PM Jeff Newmiller <jdnewmil at dcn.davis.ca.us> wrote:
CSV and TSV are not Excel files. Yes, I know Excel will open them,

that does not make them Excel files. Read a TSV file with read.table or read.csv, setting the sep argument

I tried importing the file without preview and recieved the following.... library(readxl)

readxl works best with a newer version of the tibble package.
You currently have tibble v1.4.2.
Falling back to column name repair from tibble <= v1.4.2.
Message displays once per session.
View(GBM_protein_expression)
Also, the area above my console says that no data is available in
the
table. Is this perhaps the result of lack of preview or the fact
that
the excel file itself contains no numerical data, but only TRUE or FALSE entries? On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 9:57 PM Spencer Brackett < spbrackett20 at saintjosephhs.com> wrote:
Hello again, I worked on directly downloading the file into R as was suggested,

have thus far been unsuccessful. This is what I generated on my

GBM
protein_expression<-(file.choose(GBM_protein_expression.xlsx),header=TRUE,
sep="\t") Error: unexpected symbol in "GBM protein_expression"
What part of the argument is in error? Also I tried importing the dataset as an excel file on RStudio to
see
if I
could solve my problem that way. However, my imported excel file
has
been
stuck in the 'retrieving preview data' and no data is appearing.
Is
the
data file prehaps too large or in the wrong format? On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 6:42 PM Spencer Brackett < spbrackett20 at saintjosephhs.com> wrote:

I looked at the first file. It gives an option to download as
TSV
(tab separated values). That is the same as CSV except with tabs instead of commas. You do not need any external software to read it. Read the
downloaded
file directly into R. read.delim looks as if it would work directly on the downloaded
file.
?read.delim The notation "\t" means the tab character. As an aside, stay away from notepad. it is too naive for almost anything interesting. The specific case I often see is people reading linux-style text
files
with notepad, which doesn't understand NL terminated lines. nicely formatted text files
become
illegible. On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 6:04 PM Spencer Brackett <spbrackett20 at saintjosephhs.com> wrote:
Good evening, I am attempting to anaylze the protein expression data
