R Studio Knit to HTML

General Troubleshooting

When you Knit to HTML, you may encounter an error like the one below:
Error While opening File - R Studio

This is because all your manually imported Datasets (such as the ones imported using the R studio application) are ignored.

Knitting executes your code in a new, clean workspace. In order to Knit to HTML, you must ensure that you have included code to read in your datasets.

Example:

crx <- read_csv("CSV file name.csv")
