Hans-Peter and other R developers, How are you? Have you made any progess with embedding Url's in Excel? Well, I have been busy thinking of more things for you to do;) My colleagues in the lab are not R literate, and some are barely computer literate, so I give them everything in Excel workbooks. I have gradually evolved a system such that these workbooks have become compendia of my

A common process when data is obtained in an Excel spreadsheet is to save the spreadsheet as a .csv file then read it into R. Experienced users might have learned to be wary of dates (as I have) but possibly have not experienced what just happened to me. I thought I might just share it with r-help as a cautionary tale. I received an Excel file giving patient details. Each patient had an ID
