Importing Excel format data into R/R Studio and using glmnet package?












0












$begingroup$


I have no problem importing Excel formatted data into R/R Studio and use all other R packages that I use. But, when I want to use the glmnet package to develop a regularization model, I invariably run into the following error (after specifying my regularization model and attempting to run it):



Error in storage.mode(y) <- "double":
(list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'



Here is what I have already tried to resolve this:
1) De-format the numbers in Excel (no scientific notation, no %, etc.);
2) Did copy-paste-special values several times;
3) At time of importing the spreadsheet, converted every column from "include" to "numeric" type;
4) After importing the data, converting it to a matrix.



But, none of the above eliminated the error
