As I'm dealing with a huge dataset I had to split my data into different buckets. Thus, I want to save some interim results in a csv to recall it later. However, my datafile contains some columns with lists, which according to R can not be exported (see snapshot). Do you guys know a simple way for a R newbie to make this work?

Thank you so much!

I guess the best way to solve your problem is switching to a more apropriate file format. I recomend using write_rds() from the readr package, which creates .rds files. The files you create with readr::write_rds('your_file_path') can be read in with readr::read_rds('your_file_path').

The base R functions are saveRDS() and readRDS() and the functions mentioned earlier form the readr are just wrappers with some convience features.

just right click then choose new csv to the folder where you want to save your work. then choose the seperator of the csv to ,

input all data in a column form, you can later make it a matrix in your R program.
