Hey

The size doesnt matter - so far. What your looking for is /read.csv()/ or
/read.csv2()/

A simple exemple would look like this:

name <- read.csv2("C:/blablabla.../filename.csv", header=TRUE,
sep=";",
dec=".", na.strings="NA")

header = TRUE leaves a row for columne titles (i suppose ur columnes have
labels)
sep = ... defines how columnes are seperated. Since your using Excel
";"
should work.
dec = ... either "," or "." (1.24 or 1,24). Yours to
sepcify.
na.strings ="NA"  tell r what to do with missing inputs. In this case
they
are set to "NA"

That should do it.
Manu
