Issue when importing dataset: `Error in scan(…): line 1 did not have 145 elements`

Question

I\'m trying to import my dataset in R using read.table():

Dataset.df <- read.table(\"C:\\\\dataset.txt\", header=TRUE)

But

Answer 1

For others who can't find a solution and know the data isn't missing elements:

I have this issue when I use Excel 2013 to save files as .csv and then try to load them in R using read.table(). The workaround I have found is to paste the data straight from Excel into a .txt document, then open with:

read.table(file.choose(), sep="\t").

I hope this helps.
