Hello, 

I am an R novice so excuse me if this is woefully straight forward, but I have tried the help files to no avail. 

I am trying to identify cells in 1 column with the value of 'No data', so I can change the values in the next column to 'Null'. 

Currently I am struggling with the data set, as it assigns both 'No data' and 'Low values' as zero which skews my analysis. 

I've tried a number of different attempts but just get the error unexpected symbol ?
