Details

This function can be used to read the following data file types: csv, rds, xlsx.

The function works by downloading the file from Objective Connect to a temporary file and reading it into R. The following functions are used to read the data and any additional arguments (...) will be passed to these.

File Type	Function
csv	`readr::read_csv()`
rds	`readr::read_rds()`
xlsx	`readxl::read_xlsx()`

To check what file type your document is (and thus what function additional arguments will be passed to), use asset_info().

If there are other data file types you would like to download using this function, please open an issue on the GitHub repository.
