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!

Dear R Users, I have to read data from many excel spreadsheets, all which have some frustrating formatting (lots of titles, headers, etc.).

Hello, I used read.xlsx to read in Excel files but for large files it turned out to be not very efficient. For that reason I use a programme which writes each sheet in an Excel file into tab-delim txt files. After that I tried using read.table and read.delim to read in those txt files.
