我正在使用包 readxl 来加载一个 excel 文件。默认情况下,它应该去除空白,但它没有这样做。

该文件可以直接从下面的链接下载,也可以通过附录 B 的网站下载

require(readxl);require(tidyverse)
test <- read_excel("ETYS 2016 Appendix B.xlsx", skip = 1, sheet = 22, trim_ws = TRUE)
print(test$`MVAr Generation`)
test$`MVAr Generation` %>% str_count(patter = "\\s")

test$`MVAr Generation` %>% table #all are numeric
test$`MVAr Generation` %>% class #however the class is characer

test$`MVAr Generation` %>% str_count(patter = "\\s") %>%
sum(na.rm = T) #It should be 0 however it is 2 

从这个数字列是一个字符的例子可以看出,这个问题导致了分析中的问题。帮助将不胜感激

library(readxl)

readxl::excel_sheets('ETYS 2016 Appendix B.xlsx')[22]
test <- read_excel("ETYS 2016 Appendix B.xlsx", skip = 1, sheet = 22, 
                   trim_ws = FALSE)
test$`MVAr Generation` <- as.numeric(gsub('^\\s', "", test$`MVAr Generation`))

该错误可能是由于字符编码。当我强制对列进行数字解释时出现此错误:

Expecting numeric in D9 / R9C4: got 'Â 225'

您可以通过用 . 替换前导空格来手动避免这种情况gsub

@troh 对字符编码的洞察力让我想到了使用正则表达式。@jaySF 在整个数据框中的应用程序是同时处理所有列的好方法。这两个建议使我得到以下答案。

require(dplyr);require(purrr);require(readr)
RemoveSymbols <-function(df)  {
  df  %>% mutate_all( funs(gsub("^[^A-Z0-9]", "", ., ignore.case = FALSE))) %>%
     map_df(parse_guess) 
}

test2 <- RemoveSymbols(test)

sapply(test2,class)

也许这就是你想要的:

library(xlsx)
test <- read.xlsx("ETYS 2016 Appendix B.xlsx", sheetName = 22, 
              colIndex = 1:7, startRow = 2, header = TRUE, 
              stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

# remove whitespace
test <- data.frame(lapply(test, function(y) {
           y <- gsub("^\\s+", "", y); 
           y <- gsub("Â", "", y); y
           y <- gsub("^\\s+", "", y); 
           }))

# set tidy cols to numeric
cols = c(3, 4, 5, 7)
test[,cols] = apply(test[,cols], 2, function(x) as.numeric(x))

# test
class(test$Unit.Number)
test$MVAr.Absorption
