How to Export a Data Frame to CSV in R

In this tutorial, you will learn how to .

write.csv(data_frame, "/target-path/file_name.csv", row.names=FALSE)

Example

Let's say, you have the following data frame:

df <- data.frame(fish = c("salmon", "pufferfish", "shark"),
                 count = c(5000, 200, 2)
                 )

print(df)

        fish count
1     salmon  5000
2 pufferfish   200
3      shark     2

Let's save this data frame as csv file on your desktop:

write.csv(df, "/Users/DataToFish/Desktop/fish.csv", row.names=FALSE)

Adjust the target path and run your code and you should find a fish.csv file on your desktop.

That's it! You just learned how to save an r data frame as csv file.
