R doesn´t read all lines of a csv

I have an excel file and I want to read it in R. To do this I converted the file into a csv. Overall, the file contains 17.000 rows and 27 columns.

This is the code I used: 

read.csv("example.csv", sep = ";", stringsAsFactors = F, quote = "", header = T, fill = T)

However, R only reads 27 rows. I read some post on this topic. So I used quote = "" to fix this issue (see the code above).

For this task I used RStudio. If I disable quote I get the message line 14 have not 27 elements (the file has 27 columns). Maybe it has something to with this.

There should be no need to convert your excel file. Simply:

install.packages("rio")
rio::import("example.xlsx")

*(rio is just a wrapper for different import/export packages/functions but the default values worked in 99% of my cases so far.)

You can try in-built facility for importing or reading file in R Studio which is in left topmost corner of the GUI. Hope it may helps you.
