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.

Hello, I've been using odbcConnectExcel to connect to a spreadsheet database containing a single worksheet. Unfortunately when I try to access the data R cannot see the table. When I run sqlTables it shows the worksheet as a SYSTEM TABLE instead of as a TABLE that I can access. I am fairly certain that I am do all of the same things I've done in the past when it worked just fine.

Hi Adrian, dat=data.frame(matrix(0,3,3)) write.xlsx(dat,"z:/dat.xlsx",sheetName="sheet1",append=F) write.xlsx(dat,"z:/dat.xlsx",sheetName="sheet2",append=F) The above code works and creates new worksheets. But if I want to append to an existing worksheet I seem to get an error.

Dear All, I have been using RExcel for some time and find two features especially useful: i) The ability to select part of a worksheet and put it into R ii) The way of viewing the code, the output and the alerts in separate panes. The rest of R Excel I don't really use. The major benefit for me is i) as I can use the excel as a sort of fast access database which is convenient to edit. I can

Hello, I use a software that outputs the data in a form/dialect(?) of xml (I think its called "SpreadsheetML", see below for an excerpt). It allows (admittedly) easy import of such files into Excel. I would like, however, to import it directly into R. I am familiar how to do that with standard xml-files (mostly thanks to Duncan Temple Lang's help). But I haven't found the right

I reproduce from memory my exhaustive look into this issue. RODBC uses the Microsoft ODBC DLL's developed by Microsoft. These DLL's perform an automatic determination of column type based on the contents of the first N rows of cells in each column, where N [0,16]. N may be set in the Windows system registry, and there are a few other things that may be set in the system registry which

Hi all, There have been quite a few threads in the recent months pertaining to the ability to directly write native Excel (.xls) files from R. For example, exporting R matrices and/or data frames to an Excel file, with perhaps the ability to create multiple tabs (worksheets) within a single file, with one tab/sheet per R object. There exists the xlsReadWrite package on CRAN by Hans-Peter Suter,

Hello all, I have always experienced VERY SLOW response times on opening an EXCEL sheet ever since I had started to use SAMBA WAY back. I have been hoping that a newer release would fix this one issue but it never seems to happen. Does anyone know what could be the problem?
