R help - Jul 2016 - Writing data onto xlsx file without cell formatting

Hi again,

I am trying to write a data frame to an existing Excel file (xlsx)
from row 5 and column 6 of the 1st Sheet. I was going through a
previous instruction which is available here :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32632137/using-write-xlsx-in-r-how-to-write-in-a-specific-row-or-column-in-excel-file

However trouble is that it is modifying/removing formatting of all the
affected cells. I have predefined formatting of those cells where data
to be pasted, and I dont want to modify or remove that formatting.

Any idea if I need to pass some additional argument.

Appreciate your valuable feedback.

Thanks,

I think, this is what you are looking for:

Hi again,

I have been following above suggestion to export data from R to xlsx
file using XLconnect. However recently I am facing Java memory
allocation problem with large dataset (looks like a known issue with
this package) and therefore decided to move to using "xlsx" package.

Now I started facing that same problem of losing my existing formating
when I use xlsx package for data export. Can someone help me with some
pointer on how can I preserve the cell formating after exporting
data.frame to some existing xlsx file using "xlsx" package.

Thanks for your time.
