I have some data in the Linux version of S-Plus, which I can not use anymore. The program is just broken and won't run. I'm trying to find a way to import that data to either Windows version of S-Plus (which I have running on my other machine) or R (Linux or Windows, it doesn't matter). Unfortunately, nothing seems to work. Windows S-Plus seem to ignore files from Linux .Data

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 I know that it is very easy to import data from a dbf file to R, by saving the data as csv, for instance. However, I have several hundreds of files to do that. So, I thought of using RODBC to read the dbf files and save it as data.frame. However, I cannot even start (this is my first time using such package): > library(RODBC) > bdades <- odbcConnect("prova.DBF") Warning

Hello, I have an excel file that I load through RODBC. Some of my columns are blank. They are equity time series and the stocks did not exist at the earlier dates. My problem is that the whole column becomes <NA> even though there are numbers at later dates. Here's my excel file http://www.tradebit.com/download.php/35699 <http://www.tradebit.com/download.php/35699> And

Hi, I used RODBC to import data from an Excel spreadsheet "*.xls", but some columns were returned as zeros. When I looked at these columns in Excel, I found that thery are results of formula calculations and not entry. My question is: Is there any parameter or command I need to use in order to overcome this problem? Thank you Ahmad Abu Hammour

hello all: I would like to thank those who helped me out of the string problem..but now I got another problem. I used R to query from SQL and got a list of crsp_fundno of G-style mutual funds which is still alive. I use the following codes and got what I want: library(RODBC) channel<-odbcConnect("CRSPFUND") g.crspfundno<-sqlQuery(channel,"select crsp_fundno from Fund_style

Hello all I have been working on my thesis using R. I am a newbie to R and met a problem that bothered me for a while due to my lack of acquaintance of R. I am using R to query from SQL. I got a list of crsp_fundno of G-style mutual funds which is still alive. I use the following codes and got what I want: library(RODBC) channel<-odbcConnect("CRSPFUND")

Hi, I have a large table in Postgresql (result of an MCMC simulation, with 1 million rows) and I would like to retrive colums (correspond to variables) using RODBC. I have a column called "index" which is used to order rows. Unfortunately, sqlQuery can't return all the values from a column at once (RODBC complains about lack of memory). So I am using the following code:

L.S. I am trying to get data from an excel sheet using the RODBC library, quite like the example on page 34 of the 'Data manipulation with R' book written by Phil Spector. It seems very straightforward, yet I get the same error everytime I try it, with different excel sheets and trying to tweek the code a bit. This is what I do: library(RODBC) sheet='X:\\example.xls'

Dear all, Retrieving an Oracle "Date" data type by means of RODBC (version 1.2-4) I get different classes in R depending on which operating system I am in: On MacOSX I get "Date" class On Windows I get " "POSIXt" "POSIXct" class The problem is material, as converting the "POSIXt" "POSIXct" object with as.Date() returns one

Hello Folks, I do hope this is the correct place to post (and not in R-SIG-DB). I have spent the better part of a day searching for an answer to this question, and have yet to resolve it. I am trying to query an .accdb Access database (with 32-bit Office 2007 currently residing on the machine) with 64-bit R via RODBC. There seem to be some conflicting accounts as to whether or not this is

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 everyone, I am using the sqlQuery function (in RODBC library) to import data from a database into R. My table (called temp) in the database looks like this: category numabc 54469517.307692307692def 36428860.230769230769 I used the following R code to pull data into R:data <-sqlQuery(channel, "select category, num from temp;") However, the result is that "num" gets all its

Hi - I'm trying to use R to create an MS Access query object. In particular, I would like to pass a given sql statement to a variety of Access files and have that sql statement saved as an Access Query in each db. Is this possible using R? I'm aware that I could use RODBC sqlQuery and write sql to make a table or that I could run the sql, extract it to R, and then use sqlSave to save the

Hi R-Experts, I'm having a problem with reading a large data file which is in .csv format and size is 120 MB (app.). I was trying to use RODBC package but I found RODBCconnectExcel function only. And can I convert this file to .dbf format? How can I read this file? And also let me know if this was a file in .sas7bdat format, what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Dear all, I have a problem with importing an excel file into R. I can open the file easily (either saving it as a CSV or using RODBC). But the original file is using merged cell in its first column, which gives the name of the observation. (I am dealing with repeated measurements for the same observation) So when I open the dataframe in R it looks like this Col1 Col2 Col3 name1 val1 val2

Thanks for all the help on my previous questions. One more (hopefully last one) : I've been very surprised when I tried to fit a model (using aov()) for a sample of size 200 and 10 variables and their interactions. It turns out that even 2GB of RAM is not anough for aov() with this sample size, which does not seem so big for me. Am I doing something wrong or this is considered a normal

Dear all, I have some problems with importing data from an Access data base via RODBC to R. The data base contains several tables, which all are imported consecutively. One table has a column with column name "NO". If I run the code attached on the bottom of the mail I get no complain, but the column name (name of the respective vector of the data.frame) is "Expr1014" instead

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
