Hi there!

as part of a larger project, I used Rstudio to prepare data files and merged them. I then exported the new dataframe, using the following functions:

Code: Select all

#### export of finaler Datensatz to csv ####
write.table(dat, file="dat_HH1_Skalen.csv", sep= ";", dec = ",", col.names  = NA, fileEncoding = "UTF-8") 

####save RData-file ####
save(dat, file = "dat_HH1_Skalen.Rdata")

#### export of data.frame to sav ####
write_sav(dat, "dat_HH1_Skalen.sav")

Now, if I try to import the SPSS and Rdata file into Jamovi, I get the following error message:

unable to convert string to the requested encoding (invalid byte sequence)

I know it has something to do with encoding but I am not sure how to fix it. Does anyone have a similar problem and could fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

sabo

Short update:

When I open the SPSS-file, I created with RStudio and save it again as "SPSS Statistics Local Coding (*.sav)", I can open it with Jamovi.

But I still wonder if there is a way to export the dataframe in RStudio without having to use SPSS in order to open it in Jamovi.

Thanks!

Hi,
You may try saveRDS to save .RDS file then import it to jamovi.
There is also a package:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/jmvReadWrite/index.html

if you can provide all these different files (either attach here, or send it to contact <at> jamovi.org), then i'll take a look (actually, your best bet would be to create an issue on our github page, that way it won't get forgotten). it looks like there's a corrupt string somewhere in the file (a sequence of bytes considered illegal by UTF-8). that's the issue, but we should handle it better than we do.

Simplest of all Solutions:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('file_name.csv', engine='python')
