I have an excel file with 2 columns (1st column with headers & 2nd with data) and I'm trying it to transpose it(1st row with headers & 2nd with data). For some reason my code is only working for the data with >= 2rows.

  Input Excel:

    Expected Output:

enter image description here

    Code:
    df <- df_customer_upload()                     # original excel file
    df <- t(df_customer_upload())                  # Transposed excel file, in matrix format
    colnames(df) <- (df[1, ])                      # Copies 1st row to the header
    df <- df[-1,]                            # after copying 1st row as header, deletes the 1st row
    View(df)

Output I got: enter image description here

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

  • Hi @stefan, If I place drop =FALSE, it is creating an empty row with NA's which I don't want. Any idea about it? – Roshmitha Reddy Sep 11 '20 at 11:34
  • @RoshmithaReddy Unfortunately no. But I don't think that this is related to drop=FALSE as it only prevents the conversion to a vector. – stefan Sep 11 '20 at 11:57
