I'm new to using R markdownn and don't understand why this chunk works fine but fails when knit?

{r echo=FALSE} dataframe <- read_csv("C:\\Users\\me\\downloads\\data\\data.csv") summary(dataframe) Quitting from lines 21-30 (test_output.Rmd) Error in read_csv("C:\Users\me\downloads\data\data.csv") : could not find function "read_csv" Calls: ... handle -> withCallingHandlers -> withVisible -> eval -> eval Execution halted

Is it do with the where knit is looking in terms of its working directory?

```{r echo=FALSE} but still outputting to created PDF

Thanks

Thanks, that worked, although despite ```{r echo=FALSE} it is still outputting the R code to the pdf created? – Mikey Feb 10 '18 at 22:34
maybe try {r, echo=FALSE} – user20650 Feb 10 '18 at 22:45
