Dear all,
I have a dataset that I imported from Excel using insheet. However, many numerical variables (I have about 200 variables) are now showed as string variables.
My question is the following: how can I transform each string variable into numerical one - and also replicate their names - without having to encode manually each one of them?
Thank you very much in advance for any help, I would very much appreciate it.
Arina
