I have probably an old question. I have R.3.0.1 installed in 64 bit windows 7. The odbcConnectExcel in RODBC library does not work. Tried odbcConnectExcel2007 still does not work. Any ideas. Thanks Melissa<-sqlFetch(odbcConnectExcel2007("F:\\Cotton2012\\validation.xlsx"),sqtable = "Sheet3", + na.strings = "NA", as.is = TRUE) Error in

Hi List, just to know if the issue is only a problem of mine or if it is a general issue due to the new MS Office pack. I'm using R 2.11.1 32 bits in a Windows 7 x64 with the MS office 2010 x64 installed. I can import .xls files normally (the same way I did with my Excel 2007 32 bits). But the function odbcConnectExcel2007 isn't able to import .xlsx files now that I have the new version of

Dear all, I have been looking for possibilities to read and write Excel 2007-files in and from R. The 'reading' part is ok through odbcConnectExcel2007 and sqlFetch(RODBC). For 'writing' I thought of using sqlSave in the same package, but it does not work (I think because this function starts from an existing file). Is there a workaround for this, or are there other plausible

I have installed Win 1.1.42 on Ubuntu10.04 and installed Excel2007 as part of MS Office 2007. I can open a non-password protected .xlsx file without a problem. However, when I try to open a password protected .xlsx file, I get an error message "The password you supplied is not correct. Verify that the CAPS LOCK key is off and be sure to use the correct capitalization." I am certain

Hi one col in my Excel file contains many numbers. But on line 3000 and some other lines are strings like "FG 1". "RODBS" seems to omit this lines. "gdata" works, but is much slower. Is this a bug of RODBC or do I apply it wrong? Example with the same "file.xlsx" library(RODBC); excel <- odbcConnectExcel2007("file.xlsx") tab <-

Hola amigos, buenos días Esto sigue avanzando. Estoy ahora tratando de establecer la conectividad de R con Excel y he seguido dos viídeos en YouTube de una profesora llamada Bebilda que se explica muy bien. Con ambos tengo el mismo problema así que planteo uno de ellos, éste es: https://youtu.be/_pSJQO_9I4k?list=PL7DA3FDA21A1A6310 Pero os lo explico brevemente: Cargo el paquete RODBC >

I'd like to be able to read multiple sheets from an excel workbook and use the sheet name to name the resulting dataframe using RODBC. at the moment i've figured out how to do it the long way (see below) but feel sure that there is a speedier & possibly automatic way to do it in R. i've tried to run a loop using sqlTables but it seemed to break the connection. unless i've

Hi, i'm trying to read some data from excel files but it seems that neither xlsReadWrite nor sqlFetch (RODBC) doesn't like the format (Excel 5.0). When i open the file in Excel and save it in a new format Excel 97 -2003 everything works fine. Is it possible to use ODBC connection to open old format files, or i guess i will have to open and save every file in Excel in new format, which

Hi, I am trying to connect to an Excel2010 file while another user is entering data. (Obviously it would be better to set up a SQL database, but this is not an option at this point.). Typically we are not working on the same sheets. However, if possible I like to read the most current excel file into R. RODBC works great as long as the other user has not open the file. I tried: channel <-

Hi all, Apologies if I violate any posting etiquette - this is my first submission to the R mailing list. I regularly use 'odbcConnectExcel2007' (from package 'RODBC') to read data from named ranges in excel workbooks into R. I recently received the following error message when attempting to set up a connection channel (i.e. ch1 <- odbcConnectExcel2007('path to excel 2007

Hi, I am hoping to use the RODBC package to write a dataframe to an Excel .xlsx file. The dataframe contains at least one field with character elements that exceed 255 bytes, which appears to be the cell width limit in Excel. Below is example code and the warning message received: library(RODBC) d <-

Hi list, By the entire last 2 weeks I was looking for a way to directly import xlsx files to R in a Linux OS (Ubuntu 9.04). I already read the R Import/Export guide, and I know how to use gdata to import xls files and read.table to import .csv. My problem is that all data that I receive is in the xlsx format, and I have to convert all the files to xls. Well, when I was using Windows Vista OS,

Hi sorry if this is really basic but I am just starting on R. Can anyone point me at how to write R objects into Excel 2007 files. I have seen how to set up a connection to a file through odbcConnectExcel2007(xls.file, readOnly = FALSE, ...) but it doesn't say anything on how to write data Thanks _____________________________________________________________________ The

Hi all, I have imported xlsx file (Excel 2007) into R using the following scripts. *library(RODBC) * *setwd(".......") * *query <- odbcConnectExcel2007(xls.file = "GI 2010.xlsx", readOnly = TRUE) dat <- sqlQuery(query, "select * from [sheet1$]", as.is = TRUE, na.strings = "exp")* *dat* contain one column consisting of intergers and characters

Hi to all. I have a problem to connect to an Excel database using RODBC. Namely, I am using 64-bit R 2.14.0, under Windows 7 and I tried following: library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnectExcel("results.xlsx") Error in odbcConnectExcel("results.xlsx") : odbcConnectExcel is only usable with 32-bit Windows # ok this is clear why it doesn't work > channel

Hi folks, I have been tormented for some time by Excel's habit of exporting dates to CSV files as mm/dd/yyyy format even if the dates are formatted dd/mm/yyyy in the display. What's worse, if there are dates that are of ambiguous (6/6/2011) and unambiguous (16/6/2011) format in the same column, Excel reformats the unambiguous dates and leaves the ambiguous ones as they were! Yesterday

Hi there, I've got a database or rather spreadsheet with several columns and rows. For one column named sites I want to loop through all possible values and retrieve all data out of the database where site = x and write it into an object named 'sitex_data'. Somehow I'm really missing something as I'm not able to create these sitex_data objects with the database values,

Hello all, I had a very strange looking problem that turned out to be due to unexpected (by me at least) format changes to one of my data files. We have a small lab study in which each run is represented by a row in a tab-delimited file; each row identifies a repetition of the experiment and associates it with some subjective measurements and times from our notes that get used to index another
