1You're going to need to post some sample data (not as a picture). By "sample data", I mean a representative and small piece of data that, if we show you how to manipulate, you can easily adapt it to your full-size data. Please read about [reproducible](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) and [minimal](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) questions, then edit your question. (As is, my first thought for an answer is almost entirely the use of `as.integer` and `factor`, but that seems too easy.) – r2evans Jan 19 '17 at 06:19

1"I used as.matrix(read.csv())" Well, don't do that. A matrix is not the appropriate data structure for this data. – Roland Jan 19 '17 at 07:24

Try this:
d <- data.frame(1:10, letters[1:10])
data.matrix(d)
Also you can try this too :
m = matrix(scan("file.csv", what=numeric(), skip=1))
skip=1
to skip a header line.
Hope this will help you
