Read.csv() throws error

Question

I have been trying to read the excel file but seems like there is something wrong. The file is stored in Documents folder in excel format.

These are the error mess

Answer 1

I had a similar error, e.g:

A <- read.csv("tel.csv", sep = ",")
Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  : 
  empty beginning of file
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
  invalid input found on input connection 'tel.csv'
2: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
  line 1 appears to contain embedded nulls
3: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
  incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'tel.csv'

For solution I tried:

A <- read.csv("tel.csv", sep = ",",
              fileEncoding="utf-16")

It worked.
