Is there an R function to convert the entire data frame to numeric. My data frame contains only numeric variables but when queried with r with the is.numeric code, it comes as false.

    Read about `?type.convert`. Also, please share a minimal reproducible example? – markus Feb 18 '20 at 19:32

With dplyr :

mutate_all(data, function(x) as.numeric(as.character(x)))
