There are better ways of importing data from Excel. Have a look at the
wiki:

The first possible solution path should work...

There are several ways to get data from Excl to R.  One of the simplist ways is
to save the data as a csv (comma seperated file) and read the data into R from
that file using read.csv()

Example

read.csv(file="D:/Book1.csv", header=TRUE)
