How do I create a ts object that is univariate and captures the first value?

Question

Using ts() in R with a single column csv data set, the first row/value in the column is ignored. If I use that row as a label/header, the data is read as multivariate, which throws an error.

Code looks like this:

entry_ts<-ts(data, frequency = 12, start = c(2016,7), end=c(2022,1))

plot(entry_ts)

entry_ts %>% stl(s.window = "periodic")%>% autoplot()

Data looks like this, in a csv file that I am viewing in Excel- no header row, just values. 950 1083 1028 967 891 918 980 875 961 986 1019 771 666 908 (with additional values...)

I get this, where the July value is showing as the second value in the vector, and because the code is looping back to select that same "first" value again to fill in the last (because it ignored the first value so it doesn't have the right number of values for the start and end dates I gave).

I tried to enter a label in the first row, but then get an error that the data is not univariate.
