nrow()

The df_object parameter is the data frame passed into the nrow() function.

Example

The following example uses a CSV file named supplies.csv with the following information:

The data within the file can be read in with the read.csv() function and the nrow() function can be used to retrieve the number of rows:

# Read file
df <- read.csv("supplies.csv")

# Retrieve number of rows
nrow(df)

This results in the following output:
