Problem facing for retrieving Phalanx_id from geo data set in R

Hi

I am facing a lot of problem for retrieving Phalanx_id to gene symbol .My geo data i downloaded from geo dataset and stored in a excel file.Where the first column of my data set is ID_REF as bellow and rest of the column are the sample id lke GSM2527022

PH_hs_0000002
PH_hs_0000003
PH_hs_0000004
PH_hs_0000005
PH_hs_0000006
PH_hs_0000007
PH_hs_0000008
PH_hs_0000009
PH_hs_0000010
PH_hs_0000011
PH_hs_0000012
PH_hs_0000013
PH_hs_0000014
PH_hs_0000015
PH_hs_0000016
PH_hs_0000017
PH_hs_0000018

There is almost 31741 ID_REF. so how can i convert them into gene symbol?

phalanx_id geo dataset

I gave the post again because i am still now unable to retrieve my gene symbol from that ID_REF by R

Did you look at the files that were linked? The NCBI GPL file link (was in last post, posted again) contains a mapping of ID's you have and Gene Names. You can download the table, read it into R and then select the two columns you need (ID and Gene_Symbol, excerpt below)
