In Excel, make sure that your data has a format that corresponds to an R data
frame (first row with column names, consistent column size and data type).
Export your .XLS worksheet as .CSV file (mydata.csv).
In R, read it into a data frame with
> read.csv( "mydata.csv" ) 
>From here, you shold be able to reshapte the data in a way that you can draw
your boxplot.
Rgds,
Rainer
