similar to: R-Google interface: Google summer of code

Both of these applications fulfill a great need of mine: to read data directly from google spreadsheets that are private to myself and one or two collaborators. Thanks to the authors. I had been using RGoogleDocs for the about 6 months (maybe more) but have had to stop using it in the past month since for some reason that I do not understand it no longer reads google spreadsheets. I loved it. Its

Is there an easy way to read the value of the cells rather than the formula?So for instance in a cell whose value was created by simply using the value from the cell immediately to the left in the Google spreadsheet I would prefer to get the value rather than =RC[-1] When one exports with Google Spreadsheets as a csv then that does not happen. I am using the following line of code in R

I saw a thread from September 24 in which Duncan Temple Lang told us: - The package currently has no Rd files, but there is a brief "user's guide". The package is available from http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocs I could not find it by using Tinn-R or RGui's package install tool. Then when I went to the website I saw that package is only available as

The author of the package, Duncan Temple Lang posted an update. I have installed it and now can list my spreadsheets but alas I cannot read the data within any of them. Has anybody been able to get it to work. I would love to see a real live example of sheetAsMatrix I am not sure how to specify sheet and con = sheet@connection. I have tried many ways but just get: Error in !includeEmpty : invalid

Hi, I'm using RGoogleDocs/RCurl to update a Google Spreadsheet. Everything worked OK until this morning, when my ability to write into spreadsheet cells went away. I get the following weird error: Error in els[[type + 1]] : subscript out of bounds Looking at the Google Docs API changelog, I see the following: http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/changelog.html Release 2010-01 (July 14,

I unfortunately haven't received any responses about this problem. We (the company I work for) are willing to discuss payment to someone who is willing to quickly contribute a fix to the RGoogleDocs/RCurl toolchain that will restore write access. Please contact me directly if you're interested. Thank you, -Harlan Harris On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 10:19 AM, Harlan Harris

Hello, Some code using RGoogleDocs, which had been working smoothly since the summer, just stopped working. I know that it worked on November 3rd, but it doesn't work today. I've confirmed that the login and password still work when I log in manually. I've confirmed that the URL gives the same error when I paste it into Firefox. I don't know enough about this web service to figure

Hi, R users We can create a form using R? I would like to create a form where the information can be read by R. Itneeds to be updated daily because I have to tabulate the reasons for delays in the generation of numerical models products. I really appreciate any help, Thanks in advance, Nilza Barros [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Have you used Tinn-R and what landmines await the inexperienced? I could not understand why a script that used to work stopped working. Look at these two scenarios I opened an excel spreadsheet and copied several cells to the clipboard Then Scenario 1 Executed from Tinn-R > prelim<-read.delim("clipboard") > str(prelim) 'data.frame': 0 obs. of 1 variable: $

Hi there, I'm not certain if this is the correct list where to post this question, or if it ought to be on the R developper one... I am trying to use the RGoogleDocs package to import into R the spreadsheets on my Google docs account. I downloaded the latest package (0.2.0) and installed it. I can get a connection going, but it seems that I can only get a doc one... Here is the code I am

I cannot read google spreadsheets. I get the following error: assignment of an object of class "NULL" is not valid for slot "access" in an object of class "GoogleSpreadsheet"; is(value, "character") is not TRUE RGoogleDocs is on the cusp of brilliance. How can I troubleshoot this apparently last remaining problem? Farrel J. Buchinsky, MD Director,

I want to be able to search my saved R script files on my hard drive. Thankfully the files are all saved with the .R filename extension which means that "filetype:R" in the Google Desktop Search (GDS) box limits the search to those files. Unfortunately if I put any other term in the search box (for example, "hist" to find scripts where I have created a histogram) then GDS does

How does one convert to a date format when survey respondents have used two different date formats whilst entering their data. There were clearly told to use mm/dd/yyyy but humans being humans some entered mm/dd/yy. There was even validity checks on the forms but I allowed them to be overridden since the data is more holy than the format. The data was downloaded as a csv and read.csv was used to

I read a table from Microsoft Access using RODBC. Some of the variables had a name with a space in it. R has no problem with it but I do. I cannot find out how to specify the space names(alltime) [1] "ID" "LVL7" "Ref Pv No" "Ref Pv Name" "DOS" "Pt Last Name" "Pt First Name" "MRN"

converting a POSIX class variable to a date class is easy. dates<-as.Date(x) #where X is of class POSIX How does one do that to all columns in a data frame that are of POSIX class and leave all the other columns (integers, factors) as is. Feel free to reply with just one or two buzzwords that I could then search for to find how to do it. Farrel Buchinsky

I want R to read my Microsoft Access database or maybe even a Sybase database. I installed RODBC or at least thought I did. Then I issued the following command: library(RODBC) And got Error in lazyLoadDBfetch(key, datafile, compressed, envhook) : ReadItem: unknown type 241 In addition: Warning message: package 'RODBC' was built under R version 2.3.0 Error: package/namespace

I would really appreciate it if anyone could determine what is going on with the following command. It is only half-working and is losing lots of data. For the life of me I cannot even see the pattern of what it is losing and what it is not. I am attaching the R data set which you can use with the Load Workspace menu function.

Why will the following command not work sapply(objects(),dim) What does it say about the objects list? What does it say about the dim command? Likewise, the following also does not work all<-ls() for (f in all) print(dim(f)) -- Farrel Buchinsky [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

When one has raw data it is easy to create a table of one variable against another and then calculate proportions For example a.nice.table<-table(a,b) prop.table(a.nice.table,1) However, I looked at several papers and created a data frame of the aggregate data. That means I acually created a table except it is a data frame. The first column lists the name of the first author and the year. I

How does one create a vector whose contents is the list of variables in a dataframe pertaining to a particular pattern? This is so simple but I cannot find a straightforward answer. I want to be able to pass the contents of that list to a "for" loop. So let us assume that one has a dataframe whose name is Data. And let us assume one had the height of a group of people measured at
