hi apologies, after entering the code on R, no error appeared but also no output appeared.


library(readxl)
soil <- read_excel("Desktop/soil. xlsx")

apologies this was the code entered:


library(readxl)
soil <- read_excel("Desktop/soil.xlsx")
23

Then just run soil. That should be your file. But it is strange that it is not running in the RMarkdown file.

24

is it the same code or another code? thanks.

25 
library(readxl)
soil <- read_excel("Desktop/soil.xlsx") # just reading it in to a new object
soil # running the saved object

That should show your file (if there wasn't an error). Not sure about why it is not running in markdown.

26

what code did u enter? thanks.

27

The code from the previous post. Did that work?

28

I don't have your file, so I haven't entered anything. Not sure about where your error is, but it is probably related to where your file is. It might need something like: "C:/Desktop/soil.xlsx" as "Desktop/soil.xlsx" just assumes that there is a folder (up from where you currently are) that is called Desktop. Better yet, use R projects:

In terms of RMarkdown, look at the info on code chunks:
