I have a data frame called df containing a variable Bw for bodyweight. I used the following the select it:

Bw <- df %>% select(1)

But the Bw is the type of data.frame.

I looked up the usage of select function and didn't find some options that allow me to do so. Also, as.numeric() seems not working either.

Is there any way it can be converted to numeric type?

I think you need `df %>% pull(1)` – zx8754 Oct 14 '20 at 13:39

Your question title was `How can I use select function to obtain numeric columns`. It implies to select for numeric type columns – akrun Oct 14 '20 at 14:06
