Change the Blank Cells to “NA”

I’m assuming you are talking about row 5 column “sex.” It could be the case that in the data2.csv file, the cell contains a space and hence is not considered empty by R.

Also, I noticed that in row 5 columns “axles” and “door”, the original values read from data2.csv are string “NA”. You probably want to treat those as na.strings as well. To do this,

dat2 <- read.csv("data2.csv", header=T, na.strings=c("","NA"))

EDIT:

I downloaded your data2.csv. Yes, there is a space in row 5 column “sex”. So you want

na.strings=c(""," ","NA")
