[R] read_excel() ignore case of worksheet name?

Here?s a thought, please.  Could you use the tolower function and make them all
lower case?

Thanks,

Hello All, Is there any parameter to make read_excel() ignore the

lapply(1:nrow(SIS), function(x) readxl::read_excel(SIS$FULL_FILEPATH[x],
sheet='Tables', .name_repair = fixColNames))

Thanks in advance for your response.

What about getSheets, please?

That will get the sheet names.

read_excel_table <- function(x) {
  readxl::read_excel(
    x,
    sheet=grep("tables",
               excel_sheets(x),
               ignore.case = TRUE,
               value = TRUE),
    .name_repair = fixColNames

[R] [FORGED] Re: read_excel() ignore case of worksheet name?

There is a function excel_sheets() in the readxl package which will tell 
you the names of the sheets.

Using that you should probably be able to take the appropriate evasive 
action.

cheers,

[R] read_excel() ignore case of worksheet name?

Hi Ravi,
The simplest way seems to be the excel_sheets function in the readxl
package. If you know that the sheet name will be some form of "Table",
something like this may do it:

getSheetCase<-function(filepath,sheetname) {
 localnames<-c(sheetname,
  paste0(toupper(substr(sheetname,1,1)),substr(sheetname,2,nchar(sheetname))),
  toupper(sheetname),tolower(sheetname))
 xlnames<-readxl::excel_sheets(filepath)
 namepos<-0
 for(pos in 1:length(localnames)) {
  if(length(grep(localnames[pos],xlnames))) namepos<-pos
  cat(localnames[pos],namepos,"\n")
 }
 if(is.null(namepos)) return(NULL)
 else return(read_excel(filepath,
  sheet=localnames[namepos]))
}
getSheetCase("GS_SS2.xlsx","intent")

This example works on an excel spreadsheet I have as in the last line.
Just as I was about to send this, three messages came in. One was
Ista's excellent solution that blew mine away. Maybe next time.
