R help - May 2013 - Rcmdr Bug?

may be it is a bug:
if a excel file is not containing headlines the first data row will not 
be imported

Knut

Hi,

Which command? But I would say that the first row is imported as column
names.

Pascal

Dear Knut,

This is really more a limitation than a bug. Like most of the dialogs in the
Rcmdr, the dialog to read Excel files uses existing facilities in R and R
packages. I'll see whether it's possible to add an option to read a data
set without variable names. The obvious workaround is to add a row of variable
names to the spreadsheet.

Best,
 John
