Re: [Orgmode] [Org-Babel] and R... non-numeric cells

I have had a similar problem and I traced it back to the presence of horizontal 
lines in the source table. The two ways that I have dealt with the problem are 
to either not have horizontal lines in the table or use some R stuff to clean 
things up. For example, suppose that I have the following table

#+TBLNAME: mytbl
|column1|column2|
|------------|-----------|
|  45         |    34      |
|  77         |    56      |


when I send that to R, it will treat everything as character due to the 
horizontal line.  The following R snippet will clean it up and recast 
everything as numeric.

#+BEGIN_SRC R :var tbl=mytbl
names(tbl) <- tbl[1,]  #renames the variables from V1, V2 etc to what they 
should be
tbl <- tb[-1,] #gets rid of the first row that had the errant variable names
for (i in 1:ncol(tbl)){
tbl[,i] <- as.numeric(tbl[,i])
} # the for-loop goes through each column and recasts it as a numeric variable 
instead of character.
#+END_SRC

of course, if you have a column of text in the first column (or any column for 
that matter) you need to adjust your for-loop accordingly.

I hope this helps.
