Here is one way to read it directly:

library(RODBC)

z <- odbcConnectExcel("d:/data.xls")
       mydata <- sqlFetch(z, "Sheet1")
       close(z)

# Replace Sheet1 with the name of the worksheet to be read.

Reading the manual is quite helpful for such things:

Please see the 'R Data Import/Export Manual' which ships with every copy
of R.

Hello sir:

How can I read data file of EXCEL format from disk("d:\\data.XLS" for
example)?

I can only read data file of .txt format
read.delim("d:\\data.txt",header=T,as.is=T),but only EXCEL format is
available at present.


Thanks a lot

hi, hi all,

there are several possibilities to import data in Excel format.
you can use the fonctions "odbcConnectExcel","read.xls", ...
(see http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.html)

require(RODBC)
?odbcConnect

library(gdata)
?read.xls


regards,


P.BADY
